Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag bizarrely claimed 'I'm not Harry Potter' following his side's thumping defeat against Liverpool.
The Red Devils suffered their second consecutive defeat on Sunday, with Luis Diaz scoring a brace before Mohamed Salah's second-half strike at Old Trafford.
The latest defeat came after Erik ten Hag's side had been beaten by Brighton last week, with the Dutchman already under scrutiny.
And in his post-match press conference, he exclaimed that he's 'not Harry Potter' and insisted new £51million signing Manuel Ugarte will not be a quick fix to United's problems.
He said: 'so this is another one. We have to build them in the team and it will take time. So it's not like i'm Harry Potter and that is what you have to acknowledge.

'If you see Manuel Ugarte, he didn't play so far in the season. Not one match minute and so he needs to build his fitness state and then we have to build them in the team and then i'm sure he will contribute to our lebel.
'He will be an important player but that will take a couple of weeks maybe even months and that i think counts for more plays for instance Joshua Zirkzee he made big steps the last three four weeks . I'm very pleased with his performance today.
In his post-match interview with Sky Sports, Ten Hag admitted Liverpool were the better side and that his team made multiple mistakes.
He said: 'We made mistakes, and they were very clinical in finishing, and they did very well.
'I don't think so. If I see all the chances we conceded, I don't think that's what happened. I think we make mistakes.

'All the three goals are mistakes from from us, individual errors, maybe about the last one you can debate, where is our double six, but all the others, I think Liverpool the brilliant how they took over, the turnover and how they finished was so good, but it didn't. And I saw the Xg, it wasn't that high.
'It's clear they deserve it Liverpool, and we have to be humble. We have to take this and improve our game.'
