“We are all hugely dissapointed,” said Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag following similar comments by Eriksen via MUTV.
The team suffered a painful 3-0 defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League quarterfinal and got ruled out of the competition.
Christian Eriksen has stated that the players are accountable for Manchester United's elimination from the League, which has caused a disturbance ahead of Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Brighton. The 31-year-old midfielder noted that this result will affect their feelings for the matches to come. “We want to show that we’re better than what we did today. We wanna give something back to the fans and to the club”, concluded the Danish international.
Since his appointment last summer, Erik ten Hag has managed to significantly enhance the team's fortunes and culture, resulting in Manchester United winning the Carabao Cup in February. Despite the club’s period of victories over their rivals in the Europa League in the past weeks, the match on Thursday was a humiliating one for the Red Devils.
