Erik ten Hag has hit back at his players for being “unprofessional” and producing an “unacceptable” performance in their humiliating 7-0 defeat to bitter rivals Liverpool on Sunday.

United’s shocking loss to Liverpool was their worst loss ever against them and tied for the worst loss in their whole history.

Ten Hag’s team fell apart after Cody Gakpo scored the first goal just before halftime.

In the second half, Liverpool scored six times. Gakpo scored again, and Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Roberto Firmino each scored twice. Firmino’s goal capped one of the most shocking results in Premier League history.

United’s manager, Ten Hag, had a red face on the sidelines as the score kept going up, and he said his team had done a bad job.

“I think we played a decent first half. One mistake in organisation just before half-time. Second half it was just not us. It was not our standards. We didn’t play as a team. It was unprofessional. Yes (I am angry). Definitely,” Ten Hag told the BBC.

“I am surprised because I have seen the last weeks and months this team is resilient and has a winning attitude. Second half we didn’t have a winning attitude at all. We didn’t stick to the plan and we didn’t do our jobs.

“We didn’t track back and it was really unprofessional.
