Man Utd boss Ten Hag: We gave it away

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was left frustrated after their 1-1 draw with Burnley.

Antony had United 1-0 ahead before Andre Onana gave away a penalty, which was converted by Zeki Amdouni.

Ten Hag said, "We put ourselves in a winning position and over long courses of the game we dominated. Only the second part of the first half where we conceded some chances, but the rest of the game was ours. We were in a winning position and we gave it away.

"It is a penalty. But, in the other box I have seen a minimum of three penalties. The refereeing is really inconsistent. If you take the penalty last week against Aaron Wan-Bissaka, why. wasn't today? There was a minimum of one penalty against Garnacho."

On Europa League qualification looking most likely, he continued: "That is the facts. It is not easy to get fourth when you're so far behind. We needed to win. The past few weeks we've got in winning positions and then given it away. The gap is too big in this phase of the season.

"Every team gives up opportunities. But, when it is up to us, it is weird. We created loads of chances as well. We are one of the most dynamic and entertaining teams in the league at this moment. We are creating loads of chances by playing good football. it was unnecessary to lose control. We repaired this at half-time and second half was much better."
