‘Allowed 63 box touches against Arsenal’ Tenhach “I did well against Manchester City, so I’m not worried”
Manager Eric Tenhach has revealed that he is not concerned about Manchester United’s defence.

Manchester United took the lead in the 17th minute when Marcus Rashford’s mid-range shot was sucked into the corner of the goal, but suffered a come-from-behind defeat. It was Eddy Nketia’s winning goal at the end of the game, which was tied at 2-2.
Manchester United was also disappointed in terms of the content of the game. Mistakes were frequent in the defensive area and threatening opportunities were easily given up. At the time, coach Tenhach said, “I should have played better defense. I made a mistake and got a card. I have to avoid situations like this. A 1-1 situation was easily created. I have to win against a big club. It’s too bad. We need to reduce mistakes. We were able to avoid conceding all three times.”
According to statistics specialist ‘Opta’, Arsenal recorded a whopping 63 touches in the Man United penalty box that day. It was the most this season. The expected score was 3.1 goals.
Recently, Manchester United has been on the rise and has risen to 4th place in the league, but some are citing defensive power as a weakness. However, coach Tenhach, who attended the press conference for the Carabao Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest, said, “I’m not worried. In most games, our defense was excellent. There were many clean games. Manchester City (2-1 win) was also ours. “The defense was very good. Against Arsenal, the defense was good overall.”
“I don’t think Arsenal shot that many times from clear opportunities. There were free kicks and some shots from distance. We had enough defenders. That’s what I meant when I said we were able to avoid all the conceded goals in one game,” Tenhach said. “It’s hard to win if you concede three goals. It shouldn’t happen again, and I also conveyed it to the players. It’s important to take lessons and learn from them.”
