Manchester United coach Eric Tin Hag praised the team’s fighting spirit during the match that ended with a 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Monday evening at the end of the third phase of the English Premier League.
Manchester United regained its balance following two consecutive defeats at the start of the league campaign once morest Brighton and Brentford, and won yesterday to collect its first 3 points.
And regarding the team’s first victory under his leadership in an official match, Tin Hag said in statements to “Sky Sports”: “Now you saw that we reviewed our method on the field and there was harmony, as well as there was a fighting spirit and team spirit, and you saw what the players can achieve because they can present Good football.”
Manchester United faced a lot of criticism following the heavy defeat once morest Brentford 0-4 last week, but the team showed a different face during the confrontation with Liverpool, and settled the match with two goals scored by Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.
Liverpool responded with a single late goal scored by Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, but Manchester United maintained their lead until the end to win and reconcile their fans, hours following groups of their fans called for protests once morest the Glazer family, which owns the club in light of the decline in results.
“I feel really happy and satisfied,” said Tin Hag. “We wanted a different approach to the matches, and we did.”
“We didn’t perform in the Brentford match the way I wanted. I want to see a team and players fight. You have to be brave with or without the ball, and I think we saw that in tonight’s game.”
He continued, “But we still have a long way to go. We are in a situation where you are trying to address setbacks and then this process sees bright spots, and this match was a bright spot.”
Tin Hag made two prominent decisions in choosing the starting lineup by keeping star Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire among the substitutes.
