Ten Hag comments to Man Utd squad in dressing room revealed after Liverpool capitulation

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag made his fury clear with his players after they lost 7-0 to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, according to a new report.

The Dutch boss was forced to watch on as his side capitulated against the Reds, conceding six second half goals in a devastating result and display.

Individual errors and collective mistakes were a key reason for the heavy defeat, as well as United conceding their second goal just two minutes into the second half.

From there, they had a mountain to climb, but Liverpool kept the pressure on and punished every United error.

Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez scored twice as the Reds took Ten Hag's midfield and defence apart in the second half, with the result sending shockwaves across the Premier League and beyond.

Whilst United have been on the end of several heavy defeats over recent years - they lost 5-0 to Liverpool at Old Trafford two years ago - nobody saw the scale of Sunday's result coming, given the side's improvement under Ten Hag this season.

And the Dutch boss had some harsh words for his players after the game.

Man Utd boss Ten Hag's reaction revealed

According to Sky Sports senior reporter Melissa Reddy, United players were silent in the dressing room after the match, with that silence only broken when captain Bruno Fernandes responded to a request to speak in the mixed zone as he exited Anfield.

Ten Hag is said to have 'wanted to hear nothing' from the squad after the thrashing, and had some choice words for them instead.

It is claimed that he told the squad a message which translated to 'a disgrace' - although far more explicit language was used to describe their performances.

Privately, he was said to be 'alarmed' with the way in which United capitulated after half-time, especially as they were still in the game prior to that point.

The Red Devils now need to pick themselves up ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash with Real Betis, although it will surely take some time for the wounds of Anfield to fully heal.
