Ten Hag believes the Red Devils played well in the first half hour, but then their performance suddenly dipped.

The defeat left his side with only 3 points form 2 games after a rather fortunate win in the opening round against Wolves. United now go against Nottingham Forest on Saturday and they will desperately would want to grab hold of the 3 points, but also improve drastically performance-wise.
