As long as the technique works, I don't have an issue with it, Ten Hag
stated. "I expect more from him, including more runs behind, frequent box
appearances, and pocket play. When a trick like that exists, it's good as
long as it works. It's fine if you're not dropping the ball, but I'll
correct him if it's a trick because of a trick.
The victory over Sheriff ensured United's participation in the Europa
League's knockout stages. After Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford, and
Diogo Dalot scored, Ten Hag claimed that Ronaldo, who had been reinstated to
the team after serving a suspension, had earned his goal after persevering
despite squandering a number of prior opportunities.
According to Ten Hag, "He kept going and the team continued going to put him
in the correct position." He persisted in his efforts to position himself
properly. He persisted, and I believe that's what he's done throughout his
career, and in the end, he was rewarded for it.
Ten Hag gave 18-year-old Alejandro Garnacho his a senior start in addition
to bringing Ronaldo back. On the left side of the front three, the forward
made an impression and came close to scoring.
