Manchester United defender Matthijs de Ligt insists the team cannot make excuses about missing players after their 1-0 defeat at Spurs.
And De Ligt has sent a message to his team-mates following their latest loss to Spurs, with the defender warning: “If we are doing everything on our own, we are never going to get results.”
“If you lose, it’s never good enough. We can talk about personal problems or injuries, but Spurs have the same problem. If you lose, it’s never good enough.”
“We played okay and created some เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา chances, but if you lose 1-0 you don’t score and concede one, so we need to improve in both areas.”
“I think the pace, the hunger to score goals is something that is probably missing. That’s not just the responsibility of the forwards, but also the midfielders and defenders. It’s about the team and we need to improve.”
“I think you can say confidence has really taken a hit, especially in the Premier League. If you lose confidence, you lose.”
“We still have 11 first-team players. It’s no excuse. It’s not nice when you lose five players in a week, but it’s part of football, part of life.”
“I believe you deserve luck. Right now, it seems like we don’t deserve it. I don’t believe in luck that just happens out of nowhere.”
