EPL: They didn’t contribute defensively – Wenger criticizes two Man Utd players

Date:

Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has criticized Manchester United stars, Jadon Sancho and Antony as the Red Devils lost 6-3 against Manchester City on Sunday.

Wenger criticized Sancho and Antony for not doing more to help their struggling full-backs and often leaving them exposed during the clash against Man City.

Six goals from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden gave Pep Guardiola’s side all three points against Man United at Etihad Stadium.

“What is for me unbelievable in the first half is that Man United has defended so badly on the flanks,” Wenger told beIN Sports.

“From the first minute on Diogo Dalot got a yellow card and Sancho and Antony did not contribute defensively.

“They were, in the whole half, flooded on the flanks and they were always in trouble.

“After that, when they had the ball, I felt they were obsessed by respecting too much the game plan.

“They always wanted to go too quickly forward and lost so many balls and didn’t have enough possession.

“They didn’t play for possession, they just wanted to get on the counter-attack.”
