I think this is an easy excuse to justify Manchester United's defeat to Liverpool - a crushing and destructive defeat. MU has also overcome very well before their difficult schedule and pressure when they have to plow continuously on 4 tournaments. In fact, MU tried and even had some good moments in the first half. They only lost everything in just 10 minutes of the second half. I think the fatigue is completely right but the whole team has to unite and accept it. their fault in this game. They can't stay focused. Ten Hag must also accept responsibility and fault for that match. MU has made a lot of progress this season but to return to the top position really needs more time for Ten hag, as well as support in the transfer market. I think this is not a bad defeat for MU, it can motivate the team to recognize the remaining problem to be stronger in the following rounds.
I agree with you, this defeat will be an eye opener to the coach and the players that they really need to work harder and shouldnt relax thinking they are doing well, Liverpool thought them to be more serious the hard way, it was really humiliating and i believe they will sit up more to face the task ahead.
Basically every defeat is a bad result and moreover the defeat that Manchester United received was a defeat with a big score, so of course the defeat that Manchester United received in yesterday's match against Liverpool was a very bad record. But yes, with this defeat, of course, Manchester United must be able to recover quickly, because it will be even worse if Manchester United cannot recover after the big defeat they experienced.
Considering the opponents that Manchester United will face in the next matches, at least I can assume that Manchester United can still win. But if Manchester United can't win in the next match, then it could be a worrying result about a drop in performance.
But yes, apart from all that Manchester United just needs to maintain its position in the top four, and don't need to be pressured to win the title.
