Erik ten Hag has admitted he understands the boos from Manchester United supporters after their side’s shock 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
United were brought back down to earth with a resounding crash after their humiliation on home turf left them adrift of the Champions League places.<\/p>\n
An early breakthrough from Dominic Solanke handed the in-form visitors the lead, before goals from Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi piled on the misery for United.<\/p>\n
The full-time whistle was greeted with resounding jeers from the remaining Red Devils supporters and post-match, Ten Hag insisted he empathised with their anger.<\/p>\n
‘I understand that they are disappointed and frustrated,’ Ten Hag said. ‘We all are. We have to do better and we have to do it every game.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The United boss went on to shoulder the burden for his side’s miserable display.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I have to take responsibility for it,’ he added. ‘We are really inconsistent. We have the ability but we have to do it every game. You need consistency.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘We can play a very good game against many opponents. We are able to do it but you have to do it every third day. Get it right and the demands are of a certain standard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘We have to go to higher standards to deliver it every third day.’<\/p>\n
The victory marked Bournemouth’s very first triumph at Old Trafford and condemned United to an 11th defeat in 23 games this season, with seven arriving in the top-flight.<\/p>\n

‘I think, as a squad, we are not good enough to be consistent and we have to work as a squad to improve that,’ Ten Hag said, in a damning assessment.<\/p>\n
‘We are really inconsistent, we have the abilities to do it, but you have to do it every game and every third day.<\/p>\n
‘As a group, we have to improve. We have to get tougher, that we are ready for the game, from the start.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I said on Friday, it can’t be in this league if you are not playing on the highest levels, because you get killed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘That’s what happened in the five minutes and then you are following facts.’<\/p>\n
