‘A lot went against us this season’Dutchman accepts responsibility ‘like a minister’ for struggles
Erik ten Hag claims Manchester United have suffered huge bad luck but accepts that, like a government minister, he is held responsible for how his team perform.
After last season’s Carabao Cup triumph and third-place finish, Ten Hag has had to contend with myriad problems.
