Manchester United lost the Community Shield to Manchester City 7-8 on aggregate after a 6-7 penalty shootout defeat. After the game, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag gave an interview to the media.
Speaking to ITV, Ten Hag said: “It’s a difficult result to accept. When you’re performing well, it’s even more disappointing to lose. It’s painful, but we have to feel the pain, we need to endure it. We have to bring that belief into the league. We managed to be on the same level as City, playing Rashford up front, and he did a good job defensively as well. We were dominant in midfield in possession, and we used that to create chances. There were a lot of positives in this game, so there’s a lot of good things we can take away.”
Asked about the team’s missed chances, he said: “We did well in the FA Cup final, scoring a second goal in the first half, but we couldn’t do that today.”
Regarding Sancho missing a penalty, he said: “He is a very good penalty taker, today he missed, but that’s part of the game.”
