Ten Hag: My biggest win at United

DARING DUO

“It is one part of my game-plan. We know that if we can bring Antony on, we can bring Alejandro Garnacho on, in the right areas you get speed, runs in behind, you get dribbles, and you get belief. They are both so brave. They dare, they don’t fear anyone, and, especially when you go to Stretford End, and they take players on, run in behind, it gives a boost to the whole team.”

BIG PERSONALITIES

“I think we have some great personalities in the team like Rapha [Varane] and Licha Martinez, and, going forward, I said already Antony, he or Garnacho don’t fear anyone. Bruno also, Casemiro of course, we have some players with great personalities and if you get setbacks, they move on and they carry on. They are resilient and determined. You have to be to get the result. And if you believe in that, if and when you concede a penalty, you have to go on, and you can turn around such a game. We know that, but you have to get the evidence and when you win a big game like this, from 1-0 down in a difficult situation, you can do it. This [win] is a good bit of motivation in the season.”

ON TO SUNDAY

“One by one. The Europa League? We don’t dream about European trophies. That’s far ahead. On Sunday, we have a great opportunity to win a trophy [against Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley]. We will give everything to win that trophy. From now on, our focus is on that game. It doesn’t matter to me [about the draw]. I focus on Newcastle United, it is the only thing that counts.”
