Erik ten Hag has admitted his Manchester United players are struggling to deal with setbacks during games after they suffered another dismal defeat to Sevilla.
United have lost just nine times under Ten Hag this season, but six of those have been by more than one goal and several have seen the team collapse during a match. They have been beaten 4-0 at Brentford, 6-3 at Manchester City, 3-1 at Aston Villa, 7-0 at Liverpool and now 3-0 at Sevilla and their ability to withstand setbacks during games is an area for improvement.
United have generally responded well when they have been beaten this season, but Ten Hag knows there is a weakness to fix during games when they suffer a knock. They conceded a soft opening goal in Seville on Thursday night and never recovered to look like they could still progress to the Europa League semi-finals.
