Ten Hag ‘disappointed’ as Man Utd lose to Wrexham

Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag, has expressed his disappointment over their 3-1 defeat to Wrexham in a pre-season friendly.

Ten Hag opted to field a youth team for the game, with the exception of veteran Jonny Evans in defence.

It did not go according to plan as United had a tough time in stopping Wrexham’s crosses into the box which saw Elliot Lee and Aaron Hayden strike twice in the first half.

Although the Red Devils pulled one back before half-time through Spanish teenager Marc Jurado, Sam Dalby scored the third to ensure a famous victory for the Dragons.

Ten Hag did not hide his frustration after the match, but believes that the loss is a part of a learning curve for the United youngsters.

“We’re disappointed with ourselves,” he told MUTV.

“The way we played in the first half was a little bit erratic to the structure. We had some other objective that it was not [just] the result, but with young players, we have to learn from it and I’m sure they will do.”
