Erik ten Hag explains why he is confident Manchester United's thrashing by Liverpool was a one-off

Erik ten Hag is confident Manchester United's 7-0 thrashing by Liverpool was an aberration as they prepare to resume their Europa League campaign against Real Betis.

United were walloped 7-0 for the first time since Boxing Day in 1931 at Anfield, where Liverpool inflicted United's worst defeat in the Premier League era. Liverpool have beaten United 7-0, 4-0 and 5-0 in three of their last four meetings.

Ten Hag has already suffered 4-0, 6-3 and 7-0 defeats as United manager but he elicited impressive reactions to the defeats at Brentford in August and Manchester City in October.
