Erik ten Hag admits it will be 'difficult' for Man United to qualify for the Champions League after incredible defeat by Chelsea... as he insists his 'mad and angry' stars will use their pain as motivation against Liverpool

Erik ten Hag believes his ‘mad and angry’ Manchester United players can use the pain of their incredible defeat at Chelsea to bounce back and beat Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Dutchman admitted that United will probably have to win all eight of their remaining Premier League games to have a chance of catching Tottenham and Aston Villa to qualify for the Champions League after they lost 4-3 at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.

Five days after conceding an injury-time equaliser at Brentford, United led 3-2 in the 98th minute against Chelsea only to see Cole Palmer complete a sensational hat-trick with two late goals.
