Erik ten Hag has criticized his players for not meeting the standards expected of a Manchester United player following their 1-0 loss to Rosenborg in Trondheim.
Rosenborg hit the woodwork four times before finally scoring in the 93rd minute through Noah Emmanuel Jean Holm.
Despite some fine saves from goalkeeper Radek Vitek, the result could have been worse for Ten Hag’s team.
Ten Hag expressed his disappointment with his team’s performance in a post-match interview, emphasizing the importance of winning games at Manchester United.
He acknowledged the challenges of preseason but emphasized the need for higher standards in top football.
Only five senior members were included in United’s squad, with several changes made in the starting XI and outfield substitutions during the match.
Ten Hag praised the attitude of the younger players, highlighting their willingness to follow instructions.
New faces in the coaching staff, including Ruud van Nistelrooy, were present for the game against Rosenborg.
Ten Hag spoke highly of Van Nistelrooy’s skills as a manager and his potential contribution to the team.
United will face Rangers in their next friendly match on Saturday.
