MANCHESTER, England -- Apparently, Manchester United's players didn't read manager Erik ten Hag's programme notes before their miserable 3-0 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

"I must be clear," wrote the Dutchman. "Only 100% will do."

It was a demand made in response to Christian Eriksen saying after the 1-1 draw with FC Twente on Wednesday that their opponents "wanted it more." But if Ten Hag hoped to elicit a response from his players then it never materialised.
