The manager of Manchester United, Eric ten Haag, debuted with a defeat in the Premier League after his players lost 1:2 at "Old Trafford" against Brighton today.

- Naturally, this is a step backwards and is a disappointment for all of us. I knew from the beginning that it would not be easy. We immediately gave away two balls to the opposing players. It was obvious that we played the second half better, we created chances, Rashford had two good chances, but we didn't use them - said Ten Haag.

The Dutchman is aware that he has a lot of work ahead of him to lead Manchester United to winning ways and return them to the top of Europe.

- I am not satisfied. We had to play better. We made mistakes in the organization of the game and in defense. We must learn these lessons quickly. A solid day for Brighton, credit to them, but we couldn't let them concede two easy goals. But what is here is, we have to move forward. - thinks Ten Haag.
