They were over-ran in midfield and defensively they were all over the shop. "It's hugely embarrassing, as brilliant as City were United were desperate, particularly in midfield. You can't go into half-time 4-0 down in a derby game," he told Sky Sports. "There's nothing for United to take out from this game. Roy Keane has laid into Man Utd's stars after their dismal performance against Man City. We let our fans down, we let ourselves down and we're hugely disappointed." "In this moment I can't think about positives. On the ball we were more brave, we came in the opponent's half and we scored three goals. We saw a different Manchester United after half-time and we scored goals, we created some more. "From the first minute I felt it and at half-time we changed things and we changed attitude. It had to do with the belief as individuals and as team. "All the credit to City, but it's nothing to do with City, our performance was not good. We were not on the front foot, we were not brave on the ball and there were spaces to play but we were not brave enough. We get undisciplined at following rules and you get hammered, that's happened today. When you don't believe on the pitch then you can't win games, that is unacceptable. The Dutch manager told Match of the Day: "It's quite simple, it's a lack of belief. “There are a lot of things we need to change and a lot of things we need to do better.”Įrik ten Hag has revealed a 'lack of belief' cost Man Utd in their 6-3 thumping to Man City. The main focus from this game will be on ourselves. “They had chances straight from kick-off. “Everyone feels it was a very bad day at the office. The 30-year-old told Sky Sports: “It came very heavy. “Ten Hag is an arrogant deluded twerp and the way he’s treating Ronaldo is disgraceful.”Ĭhristian Eriksen has admitted Manchester United need to make “a lot of changes” after their 6-3 derby humbling. Sun columnist Piers, however, doesn’t buy the explanation – and tweeted after the match: “Imagine benching for Utd’s biggest game of the season, then using 5 other subs as they’re hammered into oblivion, & then claiming you did it ‘out of respect’ for him? Quizzed after the match about why he elected not to bring the Portuguese forward on, Ten Hag claimed it was “out of respect for his big career”. Piers Morgan branded Erik ten Hag an “arrogant, deluded twerp” after the Manchester United manager left Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench against City.Ī fuming looking Ronaldo, 37, had to watch on as his side were trounced 6-3 by their bitter rivals at the Etihad. “The manager must be scratching his head with his staff as there was progress in the last four games, but this is a huge step back.” It must be bizarre, but then these players are getting used to it as they were 4-0 down at Brentford. “At a big club like Manchester United, you wonder what it must be like for the players sat in the dressing room 4-0 down at half-time. That’s what they have whereas Man Utd seemed all over the place. City were missing players, but whoever comes into the team is pure quality. “United have an experienced team out there. “Today, it was brutal for Manchester United as when you’re not quite at it, you get hammered by your local rivals. Top level sport is fantastic but it’s brutal. “If you’re giving players like De Bruyne time and space, you’re looking for trouble. “Again we look at leadership… there was nothing there from Man Utd. “It’s hugely embarrassing, as brilliant as City were United were desperate, particularly in midfield.
