Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has hit back at Jamie Carragher's "subjective" criticism of his tactics in theTen Hag conceded the ex-Liverpool defender "had a point" but said he has been critical "from the first moment".
Ten Hag said: "Probably in the first half an hour, yeah, he had a point. Fulham in their midfield set up a little bit surprisingly and we had to find solutions. After half an hour we found the solutions. Harry Maguire looked to have rescued a point for United after cancelling out Calvin Bassey's 65th-minute opener, but Alex Iwobi struck the winner deep into injury time when Fulham counter-attacked from a throw-in close to their own corner flag.Speaking before Wednesday's FA Cup fifth-round tie at Nottingham Forest, he added: "I know footballers are not robots, sometimes they have bad days. But it can't be, it's unacceptable and we have to do better tomorrow.
The 24-year-old has a single goal and one assist this season, both against League Two team Newport in the FA Cup. Against Fulham he was left out of the starting line-up as 19-year-old Omari Forson was handed his full debut.
