Erik ten Hag, the Manchester United manager, has publicly addressed the challenges his team faces in qualifying for the Champions League, emphasizing that despite being 'not in a good position' and the squad being 'injury-hit', the fight for qualification will continue. He acknowledged the difficulty of the task and criticized the team's decision-making in crucial moments, including a recent failure to secure victory against Chelsea where he noted the team 'dominated' but made 'bad decisions'. Ten Hag remains committed to fighting for qualification, stressing the importance of maintaining high standards and taking responsibility for the team's results. He highlighted the team's recent performance issues, notably surrendering leads late in stoppage time in successive games, which led to a significant loss of 'five points in five days'.
