“They are great player. Even though I got sacked, I will take them where ever I go. They are the reason am still at this club”-Erik ten Hag praises three Man United stars after 4-3 Liverpool win. 🗣”We couldn’t have won Liverpool if not for them🔥💯”
Erik ten Hag showered praise on three Manchester United players following their thrilling Emirates FA Cup quarter-final triumph over Liverpool.
The United manager witnessed his squad advance to the semi-finals at Wembley after a nail-biting 4-3 win, with Amad Diallo clinching the winning goal in the dying moments of extra time. This clash marked one of the most memorable derby encounters between the two rivals, showcasing numerous standout performances from the United side.
Reflecting on the match, Ten Hag expressed his delight, stating, “For me, the first 30-35 minutes were the pinnacle of our season. However, we then encountered gaps between the lines, which against Liverpool, a formidable team, cannot be allowed.”
He highlighted the team’s resilience and adaptability, emphasizing their shift in tactics to overcome challenges. Looking ahead to the semi-final against Coventry City next month, Ten Hag acknowledged the genuine opportunity for his team to secure a spot in consecutive FA Cup finals.
Despite facing difficulties throughout the season, Ten Hag remains optimistic about the potential of the young core within the squad. “I’ve been saying for weeks that we possess a team with immense potential for the future. Players like Dalot, Kobbie [Mainoo], and Garnacho showcased their talent once again today,” he affirmed, underscoring his belief in their continuous development and growth.
