On Another Day MUFC Would’ve Beaten City At The Etihad – Erik ten Hag

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has come out to insist that his team’s plan went well vs Manchester City. This is coming after a damaging 3-1 derby defeat vs their rivals on Sunday, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, despite playing with Jonny Evans and Marcus Rashford who were not 100% fit, the players displayed fight and togetherness while giving everything on the pitch.

Erik added that on a different day, Manchester United would’ve walked out of the Etihad with all 3 points.

His words, “We had two players on the pitch which were not 100% [fit]. Jonny Evans and Marcus Rashford, but they gave everything like the whole team and we are disappointed with the score. Absolutely they fought, the togetherness and the performance was very good. On another day we could have won this – small margins. Especially Rashford he had some good opportunities to score another goal and Alejandro Garnacho at moments [had opportunities]. I think the plan went well, very small margins so all the credits is to Man City and how consistent they can play.

This year on we are really progressing and you have to get some points back. Everyone can beat everyone and things can quickly turn around. Number five [fifth position in the league] can also be a position for Champions League so we have to fight for it!”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
