Ten Hag: ‘What kind of team can handle and deal with the amount of setbacks we have had?’
Man United gaffer hails his boys' strength and character in comeback win against Aston Villa
Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has expressed his delight with the way his team responded after being two goals down in the first half of their
Premier League clash with visiting Aston Villa on Tuesday night at Old Trafford.
Alejandro Garnacho’s brace and Rasmus Hojlund’s first Premier League goal completed a remarkable turnaround for the Red Devils whose back have been pressed against the wall this season.
“Keep believing. I think our fans they deserved it. They are always behind us and we’ve had so many setbacks. So I’m really pleased from the performance of
this team. What kind of team can handle and deal with the amount of setbacks we have had?, Ten Hag told BBC Match of the Day after the game.
He praised his boys’ strength and character in the game.
“They are resilient, they have showed character and their personality to turn it around. I am very pleased with the performance of this team.
“Keep going, even when you get setbacks. Again we had so many setbacks today as well. Two set plays and we lose focus, also you can say very well done from
Villa.
“But we created moments in the first half and you get disappointed you don’t score. Straight after half-time we have a goal which is offside. But I am very
pleased with the strength of my team and the character the team showed.”
