It’s a significant victor. It greatly increases momentum. It makes everyone feel happy. I hope we can get going.
It’s a beginning to forging a relationship with the supporters, and it will be highly beneficial for us going forward, Pochettino continued.
After all the chaos, Erik ten Hag, the manager of United, declared: “It was an amazing game for the neutral.” A very high caliber football match that was outstanding. Although Manchester United dominated the match, we lost because of individual mistakes. We must take lessons from it.
“As a Man United player, you ought to be familiar with handling situations like this.” I thought my squad was doing really well; it was great. Both the ball and the opposition were under our control.
We lost five points in a span of five days. It is not acceptable. If we wish to fight for football in the Champions League, we should have very high standards.’
Bruno Fernandes, the captain of United, continued, “We had the game in our hands and we gave it away.” The match on Sunday versus Liverpool is important. I don’t have anything to say to my teammates. This is a huge club, so it’s problematic if I need to say anything.
