Following Man United’s loss to Man City by a score of 3-1 on Sunday, Erik ten Hag provided some concerning information.

After Manchester United’s loss to Manchester City by a score of 3-1 on Sunday, manager Erik ten Hag announced that Jonny Evans and Marcus Rashford are both experiencing new injuries. Ten Hag, who was booked at the Etihad Stadium, also criticized challenges made by Kyle Walker and Ederson in the moments leading up to City’s first two goals after they were scored.

To start things off, Rashford scored his sixth goal of his career versus City. He stunned the home team by shooting a first-touch attempt past Ederson from a distance, which was the first goal of his career.

Phil Foden scored twice and Erling Haaland scored a late goal to clinch a Premier League derby double for his team. However, Pep Guardiola’s team was able to overcome in the second half thanks to their superiority.

Despite this, Foden’s equalizer in the 56th minute was not without its share of criticism. After Rashford believed that Kyle Walker had fouled him on the break just before the goal was scored at the other end of the field, Ten Hag was booked for his heated reaction resulting in the booking.

Ten Hag, despite the fact that he acknowledged that it would have been a minor foul, increased his level of annoyance after the full-time whistle.

But let’s say this instead. It brought up a lot of debate. The moment that I believe there was contact was a defining point in the game,” Ten Hag said in an interview with Sky Sports.

If you are in the middle of a full sprint and you receive a small touch, you break the rhythm of what you are doing. “It was soft. This is the reason why he (Rashford) fell to the ground.

After that, he continued by saying in his news conference, “I will not say that it was a tackle from Walker.” It was Rashy who confirmed to me that there was contact after they fled away.

It came back to me. It had a lovely texture. The moment you get a touch while you are running at full speed, you are completely out of control, and I believe that is what I experienced.

A challenge that Ederson made on Alejandro Garnacho when the Argentine teenager was chasing a through ball was another thing that Ten Hag brought to the attention of the audience.

Ederson made a hard challenge with his foot, and the Dutchman maintains that it was a “reckless” tackle that, once again, resulted in a goal for City.
