The boss of Manchester United, Erik ten Hag, said some of his players didn’t try their best during a game against Tottenham Hotspur. They were winning by two goals but then ended up tying the game 2-2.
Manchester United scored two goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford in the first half, but Tottenham was able to score two goals in the second half from Pedro Porro and Son Heung-min, so the game ended in a tie.
The coach of a soccer team called “United” said that they had a lot of games to play which made them tired, but that’s not a good reason for them not winning their last game. They are still in fourth place in the league, but two points behind another team called “Newcastle United” who have played one more game than them.
Our team needs more time to rest and get better. They thought they were almost ready, but they weren’t focused and made mistakes that caused us to lose. They weren’t in the right place at the right time to stop the other team from scoring.
United played soccer against Tottenham four days after winning against Brighton & Hove Albion in a big game at Wembley. They also played against another team called Sevilla in the Europa League a little while ago.
When you play for a big team like Man United, you have to work really hard even when it’s difficult. The manager of another team, Tottenham, said he was proud of his team for not giving up after losing badly in their last game.
In football, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and sometimes you tie. But what’s really important is that we work together and support each other as a team. Mason, who is the new coach, said that he has a team that is ready to work hard and fight together.
