Ten Hag: It’s not about Liverpool, top four in our hands
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag wants goalkeeper David De Gea to sign a new deal at the club despite his league-high fourth error leading to a goal against West Ham; on top four, Ten Hag says Man Utd must show resilience in the face of adversity as they have done all season
Erik ten Hag insists he is not looking back at Liverpool in the race for Champions League football after Manchester United slipped up for a second time in four days to open the door to their rivals.
Man Utd remain one point ahead of Liverpool but now only have one game in hand after David De Gea’s latest error handed West Ham a 1-0 win at the London Stadium on Sunday.
After the defeat at Brighton on Thursday, United have now lost back-to-back league games for the first time since the first two games of the Premier League season against the Seagulls and Brentford, while Liverpool are on a six-match winning run.
