'Not good enough!' - Erik ten Hag rips into Manchester United squad after limp pre-season defeat to Rosenborg

Premier League giants Manchester United kicked off their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/new-season-same-old-man-utd-winners-and-losers-mason-mount-impresses-casemiro-marcus-rashford-disappoint-for-ragged-red-devils-worrying-pre-season-defeat-rosenborg/blt012f862676a35a20" target="_blank">pre-season campaign against Danish side Rosenborg.</a> They fielded some experienced players such as Casemiro, Jonny Evans, Mason Mount and Marcus Rashford while a few fresh faces including Radek Vitek and Ethan Williams were also involved. The Red Devils lost 1-0 with what was virtually the last kick of the game, sparking a frosty assessment from Ten Hag post-match.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to MUTV, Ten Hag said: "The result is not secondary. Our performance as a team is by far not good enough. This is not the standard for top football. We can’t be match fit at this moment. They have a much higher fitness level but we are Manchester United we must perform better."

WHAT TEN HAG SAID

Many fans will say the result is irrelevant in pre-season, but as Ten Hag pointed out, a team like Man Utd should always be pushing to beat the opposition. The performance will not paint a picture of how the Red Devils will set up when the season starts, but the Dutchman was clear that there are still a significant number of improvements to be made.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Man Utd will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-pre-season-2024-tour-fixtures-results-tickets-watch/blt40910657efdd28df" target="_blank">continue their tour</a> ahead of the 2024-25 campaign on 20 July with a trip to Murrayfield to face Rangers. After that, Ten Hag and Co will head to the US to play Arsenal, Real Betis and arch-rivals Liverpool.
