Man Utd boss Ten Hag denies issues with late match focus

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag denies his players have problems switching off late in games.

Ten Hag insists he's happy with the players' focus.

He said ahead of tonight's clash with Bournemouth: “No they don't [lose focus].

"They don't forget what they're doing. And if you see positive, after we got it to 2-2 against Liverpool, and I think it was extra-time was it seven or eight minutes. So there were another 16 or 17 minutes to play and Liverpool went full for it and we survived. So I have seen many moments, also in this season, where we can survive such moments.

"Just do your job, know your job, do your job, follow rules, follow the rules and the principles and we will survive such moments.

"No, you couldn't expect these [setbacks].But you have to deal with it. But this business, this industry, is about results. And many see only the result. But you have to see also what's underneath. And I see underneath and I see the potential, I see the direction. So I'm positive in the way we want to go. And we will be successful."
