Erik ten Hag’s Comments on Mourinho Before Fenerbahce Match
Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag praised Fenerbahce’s coach Jose Mourinho ahead of their match. Speaking about the upcoming UEFA Europa League game against Fenerbahce on Thursday, ten Hag made remarks about Mourinho.
“I ENJOY PLAYING AGAINST MOURINHO”
In a report from the English press, ten Hag spoke highly of Mourinho’s career, stating, “I really enjoy facing him and playing against him. He always has good teams; he is a winner and has won many trophies. He is a role model for many managers, so I will genuinely enjoy playing against him.”
“THERE ARE HIGH EXPECTATIONS FROM OUR TEAM, SO WE MUST WIN”
The Dutch coach commented on breaking a five-match winless streak by beating Brentford 2-1 last Saturday. He mentioned that despite the team’s form drop, morale is high: “Everyone has high expectations from our team, so we must win. We need to approach every match with determination. When we win, we enjoy it for 24 hours and then move on. That’s football; you have to live in the moment. What happened in the past is behind us; you have to prove yourself every day and every season. So we must continue and see where we end up, but our goal is to win a trophy again.”
“HOJLUND WILL SCORE WHEN HE STAYS IN FORM”
Regarding Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund, who scored his first Premier League goal in the match against Brentford, ten Hag said, “He will always score, but the key is to stay in form. He had too many injuries in his first season. When he maintains his form, he will score because the statistics prove it.”
