Erik ten Hag insists Andre Onana is not the only player to blame for Manchester United\u2019s 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
Bayern took the lead in the 28th minute at the Allianz Arena after Leroy Sane\u2019s low effort squirmed past Onana, who took full responsibility for United\u2019s defeat after the match.<\/p>\n
Serge Gnabry then doubled Bayern\u2019s lead four minutes later to give Thomas Tuchel\u2019s side a 2-0 lead by half time.<\/p>\n
Four minutes after the restart, Rasmus Hojlund scored his first goal for United to pull Ten Hag\u2019s side back into the game but Christian Eriksen was then harshly punished for a handball inside United\u2019s area and Harry Kane stepped up to score the penalty.<\/p>\n
Casemiro struck with two minutes remaining to hand another lifeline for United but Mathys Tel\u2019s excellent finish restored Bayern\u2019s two-goal advantage before Casemiro netted again with just seconds of the game to spare.<\/p>\n
\u2018Disappointed because we should stay in the game,\u2019 Ten Hag told TNT Sports when asked for his verdict on United\u2019s fourth defeat of the season.<\/p>\n
\u2018When you score three goals at Bayern you should at least take a point.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When made aware that Onana had taken the blame for United\u2019s defeat, Ten Hag replied: \u2018It\u2019s good he\u2019s doing that but it\u2019s about the team.<\/p>\n
\u2018Mistakes are always being made but you have to bounce back as a team, when you score three goals at Manchester United, even when one players makes a mistake, it\u2019s done, it\u2019s gone, that\u2019s what we as a team have to believe, that we can always bounce back.<\/p>\n
\u2018Tonight we showed it, if you stay in the game and find yourself in the game then kep going, even when there are mistakes.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s not only about one mistake, before that it was too easy for the player to get a shot, you have to be consistent in such moments and then you will win games.\u2019<\/p>\n
Ten Hag then said in his post-match press conference: \u2018It was not only Andre, of course he knows he has to stop that ball.<\/p>\n
\u2018But the way Sane came through, that cannot be. And I think the second goal is almost similar over the other side, how easy players are coming through and entering our box and can finish, it can\u2019t be.<\/p>\n
\u2018In football there will always be mistakes, this was one mistake, we also don\u2019t make it bigger than it is.<\/p>\n
\u2018As I said already it was not only Andre in that goal, there were more [responsible].<\/p>\n
\u2018After that in the second half he made great saves for us, he shows his capabilities, he will bounce back, he is an important player.\u2019 <\/p>\n
