Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag admitted that his team did not perform at the expected level in the match against Wolverhampton. The Red Devils started the Premier League season with 1-0 win, but their opponent made as many as 23 shots.
Such a thing had not happened at Old Trafford since 2005, when Chelsea fired 25 shots at United’s goal.
“We are capable of playing better. But we won and we are satisfied. The opponent played very aggressively and we had to adjust. We fought for the three points. There are no easy games in the Premier League, at least we expected one against Wolves. They are a serious team and they made us work hard. I hope that in the next matches we will show better football”, Ten Hag said.
“I am happy with Andre Onana’s debut. He was calm and made important saves. When at the end of the game Kalajdzic jumped at him and Onana came out to clear the ball, we were lucky that the referee didn’t award a penalty. In my opinion, there was no violation, but this was a situation in which the judge could have made a different decision,”, United manager added.
