Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said his players lacked passion and the manner of their Europa League quarter-final exit was"unacceptable" after the Premier League side lost 3-0 at Sevilla on Thursday .
Youssef En Nesyri scored twice at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium as Sevilla, 13th in La Liga, cast aside their domestic struggles to go through 5-2 on aggregate. United put in a listless and error-strewn performance, with goalkeeper David de Gea and defender Harry Maguire culpable for a couple of Sevilla's goals.
Asked if Sevilla displayed more fight than his side, Ten Hag told reporters:"I have to acknowledge, it's the truth. It's hard, it's tough, but it's the truth.""When you get a setback, you have to deal with it, and carry on ... It's not about playing skills, it's about character. So be composed and have desire and passion," he added.
