When you lose a derby in the way we lose, that is disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst half we had a very good game plan and the execution was also very good. It was toe-to-toe first and it was very similar, but then the penalty changed the moment. Then, in the second half we chose to become more offensive and it is 2-0 too quickly. From that point on it was a difficult game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>United have now lost five of their first 10 league games for the first time since 1986 and sit eighth in the Premier League table, already 11 points behind leaders Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p>It is now seven defeats from 14 games in all competitions this season but Ten Hag said he is confident his team are making progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe three games before we won and the spirit is very good,\u201d Ten Hag said. \u201cI think we are on the way up. The start was difficult but now we are on the way up. When injuries are getting back we will be getting stronger. We have to be patient but I am happy with some injuries coming back and then our side will be stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, Ten Hag said he stood by his decision to drop Rapha\u00ebl Varane and Sergio Reguil\u00f3n to the bench in favour of Jonny Evans and Victor Lindel\u00f6f while also defending his decision to replace striker Rasmus H\u00f8jlund midway through the second half after the substitution was greeted with loud boos from the United fans inside Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to protect Rasmus H\u00f8jlund and I have to protect the team,\u201d Ten Hag added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is putting so much effort in pressing, going in the transitions, going the long ways, fighting a tough opposition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erik ten Hag Erik ten Hag has said Manchester United\u2019s heavy derby defeat to Manchester City was one of his worst days as manager at Old Trafford.
