Man Utd boss Ten Hag rues drop in intensity after Twente draw
BY REUTERS Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said his side had failed to maintain their intensity in Wednesday’s 1-1 Europa League draw with FC Twente and should have pushed to kill the visitors off before they had the chance to equalise. Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen put United ahead in the first half at Old Trafford but was at fault for Twente’s equaliser in the 68th minute. Bart van Rooij’s driving run into United’s half was halted by an excellent tackle from Manuel Ugarte with the rebound falling to Eriksen, whose lapse of concentration allowed Dutch striker Sam Lammers to steal the ball and score. “We kept them alive, we were 1-0 up, controlling the game,” Ten Hag told reporters.
