What Erik ten Hag did at full-time after embarrassing Man United defeat

Posted by

Manchester United suffered a dramatic defeat against Chelsea as the Blues won 4-3 thanks to a hat-trick from Cole Palmer.

After taking a 2-0 lead early in the match, Chelsea conceded two goals and let Man United come back on level terms thanks to Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes.

The Red Devils then took the lead through another goal from Garnacho after Antony provided a sensational assist for the Argentine’s goal.

However, Palmer decided the game after scoring the equaliser in the 100th minute and then adding another goal in the 101st minute to win the match.

How Man United manager Erik ten Hag reacted after the match

After the full-time, Man United manager Erik ten Hag went straight down the tunnel, without shaking Mauricio Pochettino’s hands, according to Manchester Evening News journalist Isaac Johnson.

The Dutchman bemoaned the two stoppage-time goals and was incensed that eight minutes had been added on after the completion of 90 minutes.

Man United manager Erik ten Hag was furious at full-time.

The defeat leaves the Man United manager under more pressure after a difficult season at Old Trafford.

The former Ajax manager has been heavily criticised by fans and pundits for his failure to make the Red Devils competitive and his inability to develop a distinct playing style for the team.

Man United’s character has been questioned a number of times this season because they have made it a habit to either draw or lose the match after taking a lead.

Man United midfielder returned to former club Chelsea

Another man who would want to forget the time he spent at Stamford Bridge last night is former Chelsea player Mason Mount.

The England midfielder was sent on when the score was 3-2 in favour of Man United and the Red Devils looked like winning the match comfortably at that stage.

However, after getting booed by Chelsea fans, Mount saw his replacement at Stamford Bridge score two late goals to snatch victory for the Blues.

United are currently nine points behind fifth placed Tottenham and 11 points behind the fourth placed Aston Villa.
