AFTER recording a first win of the 2022/23 Premier League by beating Liverpool FC 2-1 on Tuesday night, Manchester United Manager Erik ten Hag has explained why he dropped key players.
Dutch boss dropped captain Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting eleven against Liverpool. However, Ronaldo was introduced to the pitch in the last ten minutes of the game.
“I wanted a different approach, a different attitude,” said Ten Hag.
“That is what they bring on the pitch, that is what makes me satisfied,” BBC quoted the tactician. “We can talk about tactical, but it is all about attitude.”
He said dropping “Now you see we bring attitude on the pitch and there was communication, there was a fighting spirit and there was a team – and you can see what they can achieve because they can play good football.
