Erik ten Hag says he expects better communication and higher standards from his Manchester United players against Brentford on Wednesday following Sunday’s disappointing loss to Newcastle.
The Dutchman told his squad after full-time that he was appalled with the fact his team had allowed the Magpies to be “angrier” and later admitted that the hosts showed more determination to get the three points.
Senior figures within the dressing room held a debrief in the changing rooms after the defeat, without the presence of staff. Ten Hag said he was impressed by this, although outlined that this type of communication needs to be transferred onto the field in-game.
