Erik ten Hag’s team left Old Trafford with just one point on Wednesday, and Ten Hag faced significant criticism for his poorly timed substitutions in the Europa League match.

Post-match, a frustrated Eriksen expressed his disappointment, stating, “As a team, we are mainly disappointed. Ultimately, it wasn’t good enough. It seemed like they wanted it more than us, which is unacceptable.”

He continued, “Scoring a goal, I thought it would be the match-winner, but that wasn’t the case. Everyone is reflecting on their performance. As professional footballers, we know we can’t allow this. While we didn’t lose, it feels like one, especially at home.”

It was a challenging night for Ten Hag and his United squad, who initially took the lead in the 35th minute through a goal from the in-form Eriksen. Although Marcus Rashford showed flashes of brilliance, FC Twente equalized in the 68th minute after Eriksen mishandled a pass.

Ten Hag remarked, “We kept them in the game at 1-0 while controlling it. You have to maintain consistency. In the second half, we dropped our level and allowed the goal.”

He added, “We needed to secure a second goal to finish them off, but we let them back into it with our mistake.”

Ten Hag’s substitutions drew scrutiny, and former AC Milan midfielder Ruud Gullit criticized him afterward, stating, “I saw Erik ten Hag constantly speaking to Alejandro Garnacho. In moments like that, a player just wants to focus.”

Gullit concluded, “I’m not surprised by the performance Manchester United displayed tonight. We’ve come to expect it. How many millions did Ten Hag invest in his team again?”
Christian Eriksen’s post-match interview after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with FC Twente reflects the frustration within the squad. Despite scoring in the first half and giving United the lead, Eriksen admitted the team fell short, acknowledging that Twente appeared to want the result more. His comments about feeling like they “lost” despite the draw highlighted the team’s disappointment, especially at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag, meanwhile, acknowledged the team’s failure to secure the game with a second goal, leaving them vulnerable to Sam Lammers’ equalizer. Ten Hag’s in-game management, particularly his substitutions, has come under scrutiny. Ruud Gullit criticized Ten Hag’s handling of Alejandro Garnacho, suggesting the manager’s constant directions might have distracted the player. Gullit also questioned the substantial investments made by the club under Ten Hag, expressing his continued disappointment with the team’s performances.

United’s failure to capitalize on their chances, combined with their second-half drop in intensity, reflects ongoing challenges under Ten Hag, who faces increasing pressure after results like these.
