After the game, Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag bluntly said that the team did not perform well in the first half. Fortunately, they played their due rhythm after the intermission. At the same time, he also praised the opponent's tight defense and outstanding performance.

It is worth mentioning that Manchester United striker Jadon Sancho (Jadon Sancho) came off the bench for three months due to personal reasons. This is his first game since late October last year.
