“We have to score more goals, we created so many chances and it took us until just before the end to score the third goal, we need to take this moment earlier,” Ten Hag emphasizes after the match. “Just before half-time we had two really good chances to finish the game. There are many games to come, you can then save energy and it is better for everyone. For the progress of the team we need to be more clinical.”
With Manchester United’s first victory in the Premier League after the World Cup break, the club leaves them only one point behind Tottenham and off the top four, in order to occupy the last Champions League spot.
The team will next face the Wolverhampton Wanderers to hope for three points and next Bournemouth before heading into a difficult run where they will have a battle against the current Top Two teams of Premier League in Manchester City and Arsenal.
