Erik ten Hag's Perspective
At the post-match press conference, Erik ten Hag addressed concerns about Manchester United's defensive performance. He emphasised, "As long as we get results, no. I explained it once more, we defended low at times and because Brentford are very direct we lost many second balls and had to defend the box."
"Our results are quite consistent from January on but we concede shots, not so many goals." ten Hag acknowledged Thomas Frank's team's dominance on the pitch but commended his players' resilience throughout the game.
Moving Forward
Looking ahead, ten Hag expressed disappointment in not securing a win against Brentford but highlighted the team's fighting spirit and determination. With an upcoming fixture against Chelsea, Manchester United faces a crucial match in their pursuit of a top-four finish in the Premier League.
