Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, praised his team’s resilience following their victory in a penalty shootout. The match, described by Ten Hag as “strange,” saw Manchester United maintaining control for the majority of the game, only to face a challenging final 15 minutes.
According to Ten Hag, Manchester United had the upper hand for 75 minutes of the game. However, he acknowledged the commendable performance of Coventry in the last quarter, which tested United’s discipline. “We did show resilience to win the penalty shootout,” Ten Hag stated, highlighting the team’s ability to secure a win under pressure.
Despite the victory, Ten Hag pointed out areas for improvement, particularly the lack of discipline shown by his team towards the end of the match. This moment served as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of football and the importance of maintaining focus and discipline throughout the entire game.
As the manager of Manchester United, Ten Hag’s comments reflect his commitment to not only celebrating wins but also learning from each game’s challenges to enhance the team’s performance in future matches.
