Manchester United suffered their second consecutive defeat of the week, losing 1-0 to Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Leandro Trossard scored the decisive goal, capitalizing on a mistake by Casemiro, who failed to keep Kai Havertz onside.
Manager Erik ten Hag attributed the defeat to injuries and a loss of concentration, citing the absence of key players like Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. Despite being short-handed, ten Hag believed his team remained competitive against one of the league’s top teams.
The decisive moment came when Casemiro’s error allowed Havertz to provide a crucial cross, which Trossard converted into the winning goal.
Ten Hag emphasized the importance of execution and maintaining the right attitude, particularly in pressuring opponents, to avoid such mistakes and their harsh consequences.
