West Ham 2-1 Man Utd: What Erik ten Hag said

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has spoken to BBC Match of the Day after the defeat at the London Stadium: “Three times this season we feel wronged. We have to score, we have created so many chances, we should have been two or three goals ahead.

“In the second half we forced it but we left them in the game. When you lose 1-0 you need a big personality and character in the team and we showed resilience to get back into it.”

“It is unfair and unjust the way we received the punishment.”

About the criminal decision: “It was so difficult to watch. Before the season there was an instruction that VAR would only interfere with clear and obvious mistakes. That is certainly not a clear and obvious mistake by the referee on the pitch .

“More frustration, but I can’t do anything with that. They are not collecting points and that is what we have to do. We have to look in the mirror. When you lose like this, it is a bad feeling.”

As to whether he has already spoken to the officials: “I have spoken to them but the decision has been made. There is no going back and that is football.

“That is the third time this season that I have felt injustice. It has a big impact on our team, on our scores and where we are in the rankings. It is not right.”
