Ten Hag pinpoints what Manchester United must improve after humiliating Bournemouth defeat

Exasperated Erik ten Hag admitted Manchester United are not good enough to play on a high level consistently after Bournemouth made history with their first-ever Old Trafford win.

“It can’t be in this league that you are not playing on the highest levels because you get killed,” Ten Hag said.
