'I am not Harry Potter': Erik ten Hag underlines errors, Ugarte injury as key reasons for Man Utd defeat
Manchester United had an evening to forget in the Premier League after they lost 3-0 to arch-rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday (Sep 2). United, beaten in stoppage time by Brighton last week were condemned to a handsome win for Arne Slot’s side as the latter maintained a perfect start to the Premier League season. After the match, Erik ten Hag admitted key reasons for the defeat while also insisting he is not Harry Potter to work magic when it comes to the fitness issues of new arrival Manuel Ugarte.
Ten Hag underlines key reasons for defeat
"It will take time. It is not like I am Harry Potter,” Ten Hag said while speaking to Sky Sports. "We made mistakes and they were very clinical in finishing, they did very well. All three goals are mistakes from us - individual errors. Maybe about the last one, you can debate, 'where is our double six?' but all the others, Liverpool did brilliant. Arne took over, the turnover and the way they finished was so good.”
"Don't argue this [that the game was level apart from the goals]. It's clear Liverpool deserved it. We have to be humble, take this and improve our game."

United had a poor day at the office having conceded first-half goals through Luis Diaz with the Colombian carrying the Casemiro in his back pocket. The Brazilian was at fault for the opening goal while another mistake saw the lead doubled before the break. Things went from bad to worse for United after Mohamed Salah netted his 10th goal at Old Trafford in all competitions. This was also the seventh consecutive time he had scored at the iconic venue.
