Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has insisted confidence is beginning to grow in the camp, following our most recent victory over FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League.
With Manchester City next to come in the Premier League, focus will naturally shifted towards Sunday’s clash in M16, as we look to build on our recent momentum.
“Players are stepping up and getting their markers into the season,”
Ten Hag said in his post-match press conference.
“From there, they get the belief, as you have seen with Harry Maguire and Andre Onana.
“I think there are others with good performances. If we produce that and go from game to game, we can create something.”
“I think so, he is playing more proactive in possession,”
added the boss. “Stepping in, passing vertical, defending on the front foot and also stepping in, passing vertical.
“Defending on the front foot, he is also stepping in and playing forward. Very confident in the duels, I think he is dominating.
“Also in the right moments, he is showing his aggression against the opponents. Then, you see he is also rewarded because of his heading.
“I have to say it is a great pass from Christian [Eriksen], but it was a great finish.”
