Ten Hag rips into his Man Utd team after shocker in Sevilla blasting ‘not composed, not calm...

The Red Devils completely collapsed in Sevilla, going down 3-0 to lose their Europa League quarter-final tie 5-2 on aggregate.

Ten Hag said: “We have to face it that we let ourselves down and let the fans down and if you want to win trophies if you want to be successful you need character.

“Tonight was not good enough it was obvious, it was clear, we didn’t match the standards you can expect from a team from Manchester United.”

Ten Hag was asked if the most disappointing thing was the lack of fight in his team.

He said: “I have to acknowledge, it is the truth, it is hard, it is tough. It can’t be, it is unacceptable

We have to start games better with more desire and when you get a setback you have to deal with it and carry on

“We have to be better and it is not about playing skills, it is about character and being composed and have desire and passion.

"We lost the battles, they had more passion, more desire, more willingness.

"It can’t be and I think it is unacceptable.

Crystal Palace planning huge summer transfer overhaul with Man Utd and Chelsea stars targeted and Zaha future in doubt...

After a successful first season, including an FA Cup semi-final, Vieira failed to kick on in South London and Palace are preparing another push this summer. There have been tensions in the boardroom over the level of spending in recent windows, with some feeling more should have been done to help Vieira in January. However, there is a feeling everyone is close to being on the same page ahead of the summer. And while there is also a new manager to appoint, with Hodgson currently in the gig until the end of the season, a list of targets are being drawn up.
