Erik Ten Hag says his players need to make better decisions following their dramatic 4-3 loss to Chelsea in the Premier League.
“We were in a winning position with very good football and scoring great goals. Then in stoppage time, we didn’t bring the win over the line.
“You have to do your job, you have to make the right decisions, and we didn’t react quick enough to avoid this situation.
Bruno: Defeat difficult to take
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes admits the defeat at Stamford Bridge is “difficult to take”.
He told TNT Sports: “We had the game in our hands and we gave it away.

“It’s frustrating. It’s difficult to take. We had good control in the last few minutes. But they got two chances and scored two goals.
“From the corner we have to be much quicker. We knew beforehand they take corners and throw-ins quickly.
“In the last games we’ve conceded too many shots. It’s about defending your box.
“It’s a big game [on Sunday against Liverpool]. I don’t need to say anything [to his team-mates]. If I need to say anything it’s a problem because this is a massive club.”
Poch: I’m not a clown, I’m a coach
There was an understandably emphatic celebration from Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino after Cole Palmer’s late goal went in, showing the passion that some fans have criticised him for lacking at times.
When asked about the topic, he said: “Passion is not to be a crazy guy on the touchline. I need to be calm and analytic, to help the team with every aspect in the game.
“At the end of the game, sure. That is not a circus that you need a clown to do things on the touchline.

But he also admits that the connection with the fans is building, and how the win can be a turning point for his Chelsea side.
The Argentine said: “It was amazing. We deserved it, we were the better team… In the end, it was a fair result. For the connection with the fans it is an important day. It should be a turning point.
