Man Utd boss Ten Hag furious with Borussia Dortmund defeat: Unforgiveable!

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was left disappointed with defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the USA today.

Antony and Diogo Dalot struck for United in the 3-2 defeat.

Ten Hag told MUTV: “Two parts - first hour [was] good, well performing, playing as a team, lot of dynamic, good pressing, so it was really enjoyable to see. That is what I wanted to say to the team at half-time and then all of a sudden they gave two goals away and they really were giveaways. So that was already annoying but the last half an hour was bad, was a poor performance.

"Didn't follow the rules at all, not in pressing, not in building up and not in attacking, so there were 11 individuals finally on the pitch and that wasn't good at all."

“I think so [the tour has been useful for the team]. The same I said to the team, I think it was a good tour but you want to finish with a good performance and you see only 60 minutes where I was pleased with but not with the goals we conceded because they were really poor.

"The first one was really poor defending and the second one really poor in building up and that is not us. We have to keep the control and you have to keep the responsibility on the ball and it was the same on the 3-2 for Dortmund, so [it] can't happen and it's unforgivable even if it's a friendly."
