Now it's up to United's Players to find a way to bounce back this week as they take on Real Betis in the Europa League round of 16 at Old Trafford. But Ten Hag admitted after the match against Liverpool that he didn't want one result to upset what has otherwise been a strong season for United.

He said: “Many things made me angry. To concede too easily the goals was definitely one of them. I have had some bad days but there are days where if you do the right things and react with the right measures as a manager and as a team, then you can learn a lot from it and strengthen your mentality.

“We’ve had so many good results in the last weeks and months and so many good performances, but this was a really bad performance. But in the first half I think our time played really well and decent.”
