Erik ten Hag, Manchester United’s manager, remains optimistic about his team’s progress despite a 2-2 draw against Liverpool, where they conceded 28 shots.
Despite being proud of his team’s effort, the draw marks another instance of dropping points from a winning position, leaving United struggling to secure a top-four finish.
Despite a promising comeback with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo, a late mistake from Aaron Wan-Bissaka resulted in a penalty for Liverpool, converted by Mohamed Salah.
Despite the setback, Ten Hag emphasized the potential of his squad, highlighting their improvement and resilience.
“We have to step up and be more smart in decisive moments. At corners and free-kicks, stay on your feet also if we want to achieve something this season. It’s still positive, we go to the semi-final [against Coventry City]. We keep fighting for every point and will see where we are in the end.”
With United currently 11 points adrift from the top four, the focus shifts to their upcoming Premier League clash against Bournemouth as they aim to regain momentum.
