After the 2-1 win over Liverpool, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag hailed his team's attitude and added that Cristiano Ronaldo, who did not start the ...

"We had to keep chasing the game and that is not what you want to do. The Manchester United manager was rewarded for his decision to field a frontline of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Elanga, as the three combined well. We prepare for Bournemouth (on Saturday) and Newcastle (next Wednesday) now." "I wanted a different approach and a different attitude and that is what they brought on the pitch. "I am concerned about our situation, but that is how it is. Every Premier League game is difficult, we need to bring it to every game. "It makes me happy that Rashford and Sancho got the goals. We got through the week with 14, 15 senior players available and now have to make sure they don't get injured. "I am happy with the performance but we have to bring it every game. There was communication and a fighting spirit," said the United boss. We should have won this game. It is only a start.

Cristiano Ronaldo sends 10-word message after Erik ten Hag lays ... (Mirror.co.uk)

Cristiano Ronaldo was dropped to the bench by Erik ten Hag for Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Liverpool, with the controversial decision paying off in ...

"If he's going to stay, we'll be happy about it; if he's going to leave because he thinks it's best for him, I'll be personally happy for him. [It proved to be an inspired call](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/marcus-rashford) as the pair got on the scoresheet and Ronaldo only made a late cameo after being introduced as an 86th-minute substitute, when the Red Devils were desperately clinging onto their slender lead and surrendered possession. Ten Hag has publicly insisted Ronaldo isn't for sale and remains in his plans, but reports suggest that the striker's miserable behaviour behind-the-scenes has irritated United's gaffer. The most important thing is that he's okay, playing at the highest level and making our country proud."

The president was prepared to give us everything we needed to let the world know Ukraine is a strong country and that we are confident in our victory." So if this is the last we're to see of Scott McTominay building a dry stone wall, it was a fine end. Here's the montage covering her wonderful career: compare and contrast her debut, jogging on to play at a half-full Loftus Road, with the delirious scenes at Wembley last month. In the end he was paraded to Old Trafford before the game kicked off, which suggests that either the reports were wrong, or that somebody realised there was a decent chance United would be four or five down. Before the game, Ten Hag said that Casemiro was to be his "cement between the stones". There were reports before the game that Manchester United were planning to unveil Casemiro on the pitch at half-time. Last night, it felt as if we were all waiting for the inevitability to turn up, for the universe to suddenly realise 'Hang on, this is Liverpool,' and adjust accordingly. But for the first time in a while, he was more of an irritant to the opposition than to his own cause. Jadon Sancho, calm and collected, shuffling the ball back and forth like that Sancho lad who used to play in the Bundesliga. Each individual result has its own explanation: they tonked Fulham on the xG; they played a long time with ten men against Palace; and they couldn't call on Darwin Nunez or a load of injured players against United. Erik ten Hag took away the big question and suddenly the answers were all there. But even so, it made something of a change to see Manchester United operating not according to the principles of reputation or celebrity or status, but by clear-headed, cold-hearted footballing logic.

The entire team showed tremendous desire and Sancho was quick to point out how the defeats motivated the team to produce such a memorable display. “In pre-season we knew it was going to be intense. It finally seems like Ten Hag’s intense system of pressing and running seems to be bearing fruit. Sancho needs to figure out a way to deal with these things and he certainly showed that against Jurgen Klopp’s team. You just have to compose yourself and be calm,” he told But the start of the Premier League season again proved to be difficult as he found himself usually marked by more than two players on occasions.

Ten Hag’s decision to take part in the session shows accountability – the players were not the only ones at fault for the Brentford mishap and he made that clear. Ten Hag also felt he had to show that he also felt culpable. “The players were raging when they discovered their punishment for the no-show at Brentford would be an 8.5-mile run. It was a tough run for the players – but it was even more gruelling for Erik – and they were impressed.” “He didn’t have to tell anyone why.
