Erik ten Hag denied that Manchester United\u2019s shaky 3-2 win at Omonia Nicosia was as concerning a performance as Sunday\u2019s 6-3 defeat at Manchester City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United went behind on 33 minutes at the GSP Stadium to Karim Ansarifard\u2019s strike, which occurred when Bruno Felipe broke away with no defender between him and David de Gea\u2019s goal, and Ten Hag\u2019s side subsequently lost composure until the break. Omonia came into the Group E match having won only once in European competition-proper in their last 26 matches. Given all of this, it was put to the manager that the display was as worrying as the derby loss at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marcus<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it was a bad 10 minutes after we conceded the goal. It\u2019s not easy against an opponent who are so compact to create chances, and we created a lot of chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd when you get down against an opponent like this they get more energy and they fight for [their] lives. If you are able to come back you have the performance that you need \u2013 a win. We dealt with the setback, came back and that\u2019s a positive from a mentality area but you can\u2019t compare this with the game on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho were both at fault for Ansarifard\u2019s opener. Ten Hag replaced them at half-time with Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford and he was asked if this was why. \u201cIt was not what I was unhappy with \u2013 it was the movement with our ball, the width on the left side, for me was no good first half,\u201d said the Dutchman. \u201cThe movement from behind the defending line, so I hoped with Luke and Marcus we could get more effect from that and in my opinion that happens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rashford scored twice and Anthony Martial once in United\u2019s comeback, with Nikolas Panagiotou registering Omonia\u2019s second towards the end. The win<\/a> takes United to six points from three games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the overall display, Ten Hag said: \u201cI would call it: \u2018[We] stay composed.\u2019 This can always happen \u2013 football is a game of mistakes. The first 30 minutes we played quite well, the only thing we didn\u2019t do was score a goal \u2013 when you score a goal you make your life easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t, then we conceded a goal and it was the worst 10 minutes of the game from us. After half-time, we dealt well with the setback.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
