Ten Hag was understandably disappointed as his team failed to hold on to their lead, however, he chose to pinpoint the positives from the match. He claimed that United were the more dominant force on the pitch as he urged his players to learn a lesson from the painful loss.
Speaking to reporters, the Dutch manager said, "You have to feel the pain. You have to get fuel from it to make it a successful season but also take the positives that we can bring, against a very good ball-playing team, press on the ball and we can, against a very good pressing team, outplay them."
Ten Hag's men will kick off the new season on Friday as they take on Fulham in the Premier League curtain raiser at Old Trafford.
