The Dutch manager also touched upon the importance of having energetic substitutes to bolster the team, particularly in the attacking positions. He noted that options were somewhat restricted, implying the need for depth to maintain the team’s competitive edge throughout the match.

Under Ten Hag’s management, Manchester United has been focusing on building a strong team ethos and resilience, qualities that were evidently on display in their encounter with Bayern Munich.
