The manager of Manchester United acknowledges that he is to blame for their home loss to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup.

Paul Merson worries that Erik ten Hag has lost the support of his teammates after Newcastle eliminated Manchester United from the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford.

Manchester United, who won the Carabao Cup last year, were knocked out in the fourth round by Newcastle after losing 3-0 at home. The team's manager, Erik ten Hag, admitted that their performance was not good enough and that he takes responsibility for it. Paul Merson believes that the players are no longer supporting the manager.

 

In the game between last season's finalists, Newcastle scored two goals in the first half through Miguel Almiron and Lewis Hall.

Joe Willock scored a third goal just after one hour of the match. This made Erik ten Hag's team suffer their eighth loss this season in all competitions. It was also the second time they lost 3-0 at home in just four days, after losing to Manchester City on Sunday.

 

When Merson was asked to describe Man Utd's performance, he said it was really bad. It was not rich. They had no more ideas again. People have been saying this for many years about Manchester United. You can't recognize who they are and you can't understand their intentions.

When you watch other teams, you can see that they were beaten in the midfield by Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff, and Joelinton.

 

Newcastle switched out eight players and United lost by a score of 3-0. I think the manager no longer has the support or cooperation of the players. There are different ways to lose football games and everyone loses sometimes, but they were completely beaten tonight after falling behind 1-0, just like they were last week against Manchester City.

Newcastle had a very easy time. Tonight, they were very nervous and overwhelmed as they went to Old Trafford, but instead of freezing up, they went out there and gave it their all.

 

I see Ten Hag every week, and he always looks serious while chewing gum. I see only this and something needs to be fixed.

This Saturday, we have a important game against Fulham. I can't understand how much longer this continues. I heard from the newspapers that it could be £15 million. I understand that they might argue that it's a significant amount, but they have wasted £80m by not giving Jadon Sancho a chance to play.

 

"They ran after that child for a long time, he said something, and now he's completely exhausted. " He will most likely be loaned out in January and they will pay for half of his salary.

This needs to be fixed and I personally believe it's harmful. I don't pay attention to the unhealthy environment that exists backstage. I am more concerned about the playing field where the game is actually played. They are everywhere and if it weren't for a penalty at the last minute, they would have tied the game at home against Copenhagen. Come on, be focused.

 

In my opinion, he is being heavily stressed and they need to have a meeting to figure out what to do. He no longer has the support of the players because they are being defeated too easily.

Everyone can lose football games, but there are different ways of losing. Tonight, just like last week, they were completely beat by the opposing team. It is very bad. Newcastle found everything to be really easy.

 

Ten Hag had a successful first season as the club's manager by winning a trophy after six years.

However, things have gone wrong since then and there will be more pressure on the Dutchman and his team. This is because Newcastle defeated Manchester United in their 8th loss out of 15 matches, which allowed Newcastle to advance to the quarter-finals.

 

After Manchester City humiliated Manchester United in the derby on Sunday, it is expected that Erik ten Hag's team will face the consequences. However, Newcastle had a victorious evening.

Ten Hag said: "We understand that what we have done is not satisfactory. " We need to be accountable for it, I need to be accountable for it. We didn't do well, so I feel bad for the fans. This is not up to our expectations and we need to fix it.

 

"We need to bounce back and bounce back fast because we have a game on Saturday against Fulham. We need to improve and do better. " This is not satisfactory.

When asked if he believed that the people at United were suitable for the club's standards, Ten Hag replied confidently, "Yes, I believe we have the right people for that."

 

The players will get up and stay together. You have witnessed that they have attempted. But we understand that this is not satisfactory, and as I mentioned before, I am accountable for this, and we need to work on this as a team.

Ten Hag said that the only solution for United to overcome their current problem is to stay united and support each other.

 

"You need to be focused and work together. Everyone must take ownership, be responsible, and collaborate. " "That's the important word," he said.

After the game at Old Trafford, Gary Neville praised Newcastle and said they played well. They made some changes and decided to take a risk, but they completely deserved to win tonight.

 

I'm not sure how Ten Hag can motivate Man Utd for the weekend after their bad performance in the Manchester derby on Sunday. Tonight's game has just confirmed what we've seen in the past few days.

"Ten Hag is facing a challenge as he doesn't have any ideas and needs to think of something. "

Neville said that Newcastle deserved their advantage because they were dominant in the beginning. In the last 10 minutes, Man United has lost control and started to look worried. The crowd has gone silent.

 

"Garnacho is pushed away from it with force. " Livramento moves around Mount as if he doesn't notice it. Dalot is taking a nap, but Almiron is awake. Can he complete it. Yes, he definitely can.

As Hall scored a great goal, Neville noticed that five players from Manchester United were not paying attention and were complaining instead of defending.

 

We hope to see improvement in the squad sooner than later
