But today we survived,\u201d ten Hag told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the Dutch manager insisted that Sunday\u2019s result was a positive achievement for the club and put an end to any shame in the winning style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI see our mistake. We can\u2019t get away from it. But it\u2019s nothing to be ashamed of. Now we\u2019ve made it twice in two years. So that\u2019s a big achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut of course, when you\u2019re 3-0 down, controlling the game so much, dominating the game so much, you have to finish it and we didn\u2019t do it well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The United boss under pressure praised his side\u2019s character in the shootout as a \u201cgood sign\u201d but said the collapse during the game was \u201cabsolutely unnecessary\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked about morale in the dressing room, Ten Hag said there were \u201cmixed feelings\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: Eric On Hag admits Manchester United got away with it after their FA Cup semi-final penalty shootout win over Coventry.
