“I can’t believe his response, is ETH serious a coach?Man Utd fans baffled by Erik ten post-match response after West Ham defeat
Erik ten Hag baffled everyone with his comments after Manchester United’s West Ham defeat.
United fell to a 2-0 defeat to West Ham on Saturday, as goals from Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus condemned Ten Hag’s men to their eighth Premier League loss of the season.
The result sees West Ham move up to sixth place in the Premier League and United fall to eighth.
It was another dismal display for the Old Trafford club, who have now won just one of their last five Premier League games and failed to score in over six hours of football for the first time since November 1992 under Alex Ferguson.
Moreover, the Old Trafford club have now lost 13 games in all competitions this term. The last time they lost more matches before Christmas was back in the 1930/31 campaign (16) when they ultimately finished bottom of the league.
Nevertheless, after the game, Ten Hag was positive about his team’s performance, insisting that his side had played well and controlled the game.
When beIN Sport asked his thoughts on the encounter Ten Hag said: “It was a solid performance. We didn’t net but I think we controlled the game.
“You win the game by scoring the goal.”
“We were dominant.”

Seemingly quite surprised by Ten Hag’s answer, the interviewer said: “You think that was a solid performance?”
The Dutchman replied: “Yes. I think we were totally in control in and out of possession. I think we gave the opponent nothing until the 72nd minute – one moment where we switched off.”
United have now recorded more defeats this season than in all of their 62 competitive games from the last campaign.
And it could get worse, with the Red Devils hosting the in-form Aston Villa on Boxing Day before travelling to Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest on December 30.

Man United Team News at Crystal Palace: Shaw, Lindelof, Hojlund, Mount
As the fixture congestion ramps up this late summer/early fall, Manchester United are on the mend.
The following trio could be match fit enough to be in line for selection at Crystal Palace at Saturday: Luke Shaw (calf), Rasmus Hojlund (hamstring) and Victor Lindelof (ankle/foot muscle).
Shaw, Hojlund and Lindelof might be in the squad here, or we might have to wait until the 25th.

Next Wednesday (the 25th) is when United hosts Twente in the UEFA Europa League competition. Whomever doesn’t make the squad this weekend will likely be in the team for next midweek.
And with that in mind, you have another injured United troika, Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia and Mason Mount, who are all long-term injury absentees.
Mount is out until early October while Malacia is looking at a late October return.
For Yoro, the schedule has a timeline of a November return.

Man United Starting XI Prediction at Crystal Palace
Manchester United did exactly what they were supposed to do, when they thrashed Barnsley FC 7-0 in midweek League Cup action. That’s exactly what a big, rich club must do to a Championship side. Now they’ll have extra added enthusiasm for when they travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday. This has been a very tricky fixture in recent years for United, especially on the road, so manager Erik ten Hag will take it very seriously.

Onana the Hero: Fans can’t believe what Southampton did seconds before penalty vs Man Utd
Fans were left confused after seeing what Southampton players did before their missed penalty against Manchester United.
The Saints were given an opportunity to take the lead at St Mary’s on 32 minutes after debutant Tyler Dibling was brought down in the area by Diogo Dalot.
Cameron Archer stepped up to take the spot kick, but Andre Onana got down well to his right to keep it out.
United then cleared, and scored themselves just two minutes later through defender Matthijs de Ligt.
It was therefore a nightmare passage of play for Russell Martin’s side as they look to register their first point in the Premier League season.
Marcus Rashford then made it 2-0 before half-time with a curling 25-yard finish with his right foot.
But prior to the missed penalty, fans were surprised at what Southampton chose to do.
Ben Brereton Diaz looked as if he was about to take the penalty, but stepped back and allowed Archer to take it instead.
There was then a significant wait before the penalty was taken, with Archer missing from 12 yards.
Andre Onana stops Cameron Archer from 12 yards 🤩
A brilliant chance for Southampton to take the lead early on 🫣
