Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has spoken out after his side's 1-0 friendly loss to Atletico Madrid on Saturday. Joao Felix scored the only goal of the game in the closing stages,
expertly firing past David De Gea. And it means the Red Devils have now tasted defeat for the first time under their new boss. Manchester United went into their match with Atletico looking
to return to winning ways. The Red Devils drew 2-2 with Aston Villa last time out but, in Norway, they were unable to secure victory. Despite United dominating proceedings, for the most
part, they were sunk in the closing stages with Felix on target. The Portugal international had been introduced in the second half and made his mark, expertly finishing past De Gea to give
Diego Simeone’s side the win. And Ten Hag has now reacted to the defeat, insisting that he's not happy - and that's also a message he relayed to players inside the dressing room.

failed to win their last two games, with the defeat to Atletico coming after a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa. Ten Hag said after the Atletico game that United were threatening, and cited a big
chance missed by skipper Harry Maguire. “Our possession and transition game was good,” he added. “We created a lot of threat. That point I was satisfied. Also from set pieces, big chance for
Harry Maguire.” WANT THE NEW MAN UTD SHIRT? CLICK HERE TO BUY IT. Christian Eriksen also got a mention, with the Denmark international making his debut for the team following his arrival
from Brentford. “We know what he is able to do,” he said. “I think with our front men he is able to give them the right passes at the right time. Then it’s about finishing.” On Atletico
themselves, Ten Hag was respectful towards the La Liga side. But he did insist that some tackles weren’t good enough, insisting he was worried about injuries during the course of the
contest. MAN UTD FIXTURES: WHEN ERIK TEN HAG’S TEAM FACE EVERY PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM “I like competitiveness, but with respect I don’t want to have injuries as well,” he said. “That’s why you
have to keep respect for each other, and I’ve seen some tackles that were over the limit.” Next up for United is another friendly against Rayo Vallecano. That will take place at Old Trafford
on Sunday (4pm) and will be Ten Hag’s first game in the dugout of the famous stadium. And, on plans for that game, he said: “Tomorrow we will have a different starting eleven. But there are
