The local media in Manchester gave Manchester United manager Eric ten Haag advice on team composition.
Manchester United lost 0-3 to Sevilla in the second leg of the 2022-2023 European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League (UEL) quarterfinals held at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in Seville, Spain on the 21st (hereinafter Korean time).
As a result, Manchester United fell to their knees with a combined score of 2-5 in the first and second games, and their advance to the semifinals of the tournament was frustrated. Manchester United bowed their heads as they were caught and eliminated by the La Liga team for the sixth consecutive year. On the other hand, Sevilla advanced to the semifinals and took a step forward towards their 7th championship in their career.
It was a completely self-defeating match. Manchester United took the lead in the eighth minute of the first half thanks to a dangerous pass by goalkeeper David de Gea and a mistake by Harry Maguire, and allowed an additional goal from a corner kick at the start of the second half. In addition, in the 46th minute of the second half, De Gea’s absurd ball control mistake led to the goal being hit.
Manchester United manager Eric ten Haag said after the game: “We have to do better. That’s the requirement. We weren’t calm, we weren’t calm. We couldn’t handle the pressure even when there was so much space behind us. It was clear what we had to do in the beginning. I did,” he pointed out.
The Manchester Evening News advised manager Ten Haag. In order to take on new challenges, there must be a change in the composition of players. 메이저사이트
The Manchester Evening News reported that “Man United have to part with at least five players in the summer transfer window. It will be more time to spend, but it will definitely help the team.”
“Maguire showed a terrible appearance. It was a catastrophic back pass,” he explained. “Ten Hag would have wanted to squeeze Maguire and De Gea.”
The BBC also pointed out that Maguire’s mistake was the reason for the defeat, saying, “Maguire’s pass gave Man United a disastrous evening.” Then, the media criticized it as “the most terrible of all the back passes I’ve seen recently.”
BT Sports reported that “Maguire will want to undo his mistakes because he lost so much because of it.”
Meanwhile, The Sun highlighted Manchester United’s overall sluggishness, saying, “Maguire made the worst mistake,” and “maybe it’s fortunate for other Manchester United players to have one clear target to blame.”
