The Dutchman watched his side's 1-1 draw with Burnley yesterday and the result was disappointing.
United took the lead through Anthony with 11 minutes remaining. However, Andre Onana was awarded a penalty with three minutes remaining and Zeki Amdouni calmly converted the penalty. The team was booed off the pitch again in a less than impressive performance.
Manchester United fans were left frustrated when Kobe Mainu was substituted in the 65th minute. He explained the reason for this change in an interview with the media after the game.
“I'm the head coach and I have to decide what the team needs.”
“It was the right decision and completely logical to let go of young players who were feeling a bit fatigued in their first year in the Premier League.
“Fans need to be patient. I understand they want to see the skills of these players, but the league is getting more intense every year and young people need to adapt. It takes time.”
He continues to dig out former players-turned-experts who often criticize his decision-making.
“People forget about the 2004-05 Manchester United team, they didn’t play that good football (Ferguson was building a young team around the talents of Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo). They were building, It takes time but everyone forgets, even the players in the team.”
Roy Keane, Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes were the most high-profile players to feature for the team during this period.
United have developed a strange habit of allowing multiple shots on goal. Even weaker teams can enjoy shooting freely. Burnley had 16 shots on goal.
“We created a lot of chances by playing good football. Yes, we admit that too. We have to learn from it because losing control is unnecessary.”
The Red Devils dropped out of contention for the Champions League after the draw. Manchester United are in sixth place with three games remaining; they are likely to secure a Europa League spot, but Newcastle are just one point behind seventh place. Seventh place will qualify for the UEFA Conference League.
