'It's not like I'm HARRY POTTER' 🪄 Erik ten Hag on building Man United's squad after Liverpool loss

Eric uh there's pictures of casemiro leaving the ground which have been reported as he left at half time could you just clarify why you took him off and when he left the St I can I met him after the game in the dressing room so he didn't leave the stadium at half time so and yeah why I sub him that was because we are two no down and against the opponent as Liverpool with them qualities they are very good um when you we had to take risk because we want to bounce back then you need players in the Midfield who can cover ground therefore we brought Toby KY on the pits are you concerned Casmir is in Decline I think was 11 months ago you took him off at Hal time against brenford you dropped him for the FA Cup F he looks a shadow of the play was in the first season here so I I think that um if football everyone has to take responsibility and I'm sure he's a great character and he wanton everything in his career what you can imagine and I'm sure he will uh keep contributing to our team and casimiro is always winning so he will be there is there any frustration at all that you're into your third season now we still talking about Miss chances um goals coming in in quick succession or chances coming in quick succession um defensive lapses that after so long with these players you're still having to answer the same questions no so we will we will see uh we just third game in the season again we have to build a new team I explained this for so many times also on um on the Friday in the press conference we will will build this new team we have young players uh also we have now players to build in in the season today we had I think two players three players first start of the season and they didn't play 90 minutes uh we will be fine but it's clear we have to improve but in the end of the season I'm quite confident again we will um we will have a big chance to lift another trophy anym I appreciate last he came in on Deadline day but how much of a difference do you feel he will make um when he eventually plays and is there concern you maybe should have tried to get him got him ear in the window uh so this is this is another one we have to build him in the team and it build take time and um so it's not like I'm Harry Potter and to and to that is what you have to acknowledge and if you see Manu okata he didn't play uh so far in the season not one metch minute and so yeah he need uh to build his Fitness State and then we have to build him in a team and then I'm sure he will contribute to our level and he will be an important player but that will take a couple of weeks maybe even months and that I think counts for more players also for instance Jo C he made big steps the last three four weeks uh I'm very pleased with his performance today uh but I didn't expect this four weeks ago today what are there any positives you can take from today I don't want to talk about positives today and there are but I don't want to talk about this we have to take this this defeat it hurts it hurts for for us especially for our fans so we have to be humble we have to give the compliments to Liverpool and we have to to move hi er um I appreciate what you say about players and players needing time to get in that's Undisputed the true the mistakes that your team made today are the mistakes that we've been making for two years and What Makes You confident that it's players that are the problem I'm not your coaching so what do you mean tell me then explain me maybe can explain me which mistakes we make reg regular well constantly tur the ball over in your own half playing the ball out from the back getting moved chances come on the back of it C attacks when they outnumbered giving up giving up endless chances in your own stadium against the team's biggest Rivals the greatest respect seen that for so long now you are sure absolutely I don't think otherwise you wouldn't win trophies as we did and to beat big opponents so I'm sorry for you I have an I have an a fish would would the respect brilant against City in that final you almost lost to Cambridge in the semi-final I come on let's have a realistic view of what happened I think we won after City the most trophies in English football so I'm sorry for you give another one question last question Jo um just following on from Rob's point about when you concede you often concede again quite quickly um when he came in obviously you said you inherited obviously a lot of problems this this team today is looking very much like your team six of your new signings uh there's three three obviously Academy players but two of whom guring me you've obviously promoted do do you is there a concern that once you can see one you're very very vulnerable again in the next five to 10 minutes yeah it's difficult to say because and this is the third uh game in the season and we had to fulam with the clean sheet uh against Brighton we bounced back we didn't concede so quickly we concede in stoppage time from a set play so yeah I can't see I can't see a pattern for this now in the season did you enjoy that there's so much more so why not hit subscribe and download the OPA sport app
