Ten Hag: Man United believed they could defeat Spurs with a "90 percent" effort

Posted : 28 April 2023
After watching his Manchester United team surrender a two-goal advantage in Thursday's 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur, Erik ten Hag said that his players thought "90 percent is enough."

Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford scored outstanding goals to give United a 2-0 lead at the interval, but Spurs fought to grab a draw with goals from Pedro Porro and Son Heung-Min in the second half.

In part possibly as a result of playing 120 minutes in Sunday's FA Cup semifinal penalty shootout victory against Brighton — the latest physically taxing match in a lengthy season across four competitions — Ten Hag's team wilted as the game went on.

With two games remaining, United is still in fourth position, six points ahead of Spurs, but Ten Hag said:

"We have had the worst schedule in the Premier League. That will not change. Also a recovery period so we have to take that. It cannot be an excuse.

"The time is enough to recover so our players are in demand to be ready, and today we were not ready. Some thought 90 percent is enough. If we lose focus, that's why we gave balls away, we didn't do our jobs in position and then you concede goals. In both goals, it was the case. But more, you lose control of the game.
