Diogo Dalot sawEric Ten Haag make theManchester United squad more organized and stronger during the match. I made it clear that I wanted to press. Defeats to Brighton and Hove Albion.
Ten Hag lost his first official match in charge of United in the first weekend of his new Premier League season, leaving his appointment as a substitute. We followed our optimism and brought the club back to reality.
Pascal Grosz's first-half goal was well deserved for Brighton after dominating the opening 45 minutes. Alexis Mack Allister's own goal gave United a goal, but they were still defeated.
Old's Trafford crowd booed the United players at half-time, and after the final whistle blew, Tenhe performed far from the fluid principles of Hug, attacked football.
When asked what the United manager said to his players at half-time, Dalot replied: Get the ball back faster, then get the ball, and spend more time calming down, clearing your head, and being able to think about what to do.
"That was what we tried. I think it was obvious that we got better, but it wasn't good enough for a comeback."
Tenhag unfamiliar with debutant Christian Eriksen Forus chose to play his role of Nine. Cristiano Ronaldo was considered unfit to start and Anthony Martial was sidelined with a hamstring injury.
However, the experiment didn't work out and Eriksen returned to midfield play when Ronaldo was brought on at the start of the second half.
Dalot believed United's performance had improved after the break and called on his teammates to build greater dynamism in the second half of play. When I came to the United States, I found that he was very good with the ball, so the people up front started to move more," he said.
"That's what we want, the forward player moves from behind. We knew he could hit the ball to our heads and feet. Overall. The second half is a little more dynamic, and that's why it should be 90 minutes."
