Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag urges team to fix mistakes after 4-3 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers
Manchester United won a thrilling contest at the Molineux on February 1 against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. The Red Devils rode a late stoppage time winner from youngster Kobbie Mainoo to seal a 4-3 win.
Speaking after the pulsating win, manager Erik ten Hag focused on the defensive lapses and said (via Guardian):
“We should have managed the situation better. For the penalty, they beat our press and it was similar to the second goal we conceded in Newport. We have to hammer this out of the team and such mistakes cannot happen."
He added:
"What is asked in that moment is leadership on the pitch and it cannot be that that is happening and that we are conceding such goals. I have mixed feelings but I was very pleased with the team performance and some individual performances from our side.”
United's next game is against West Ham United on Sunday, February 4.
