Ten Hag laments Manchester United’s ‘complacent’ approach in Twente draw
United concede equaliser after defensive mix-upChristian Eriksen suggests Dutch side ‘wanted it more’
Erik ten Hag criticised Manchester United for not “fighting for every yard” unlike Twente, who played “the game of their life” in the 1-1 Europa League draw at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
United led through Christian Eriksen’s first-half strike and appeared in control at the break. But on 68 minutes Bart van Rooij was able to run from deep inside Twente territory, passing Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Lisandro Martínez and Harry Maguire. When Manuel Ugarte tackled the defender, the ball went to Eriksen but the Dane dawdled and Sam Lammers took the ball, dashed forward and equalised.
