The positive trend that Manchester United continues to achieve with a victory over Leicester City has brought the team to the top of the Premier League table for 2022-2023. Man United coach, Erik ten Hag, was impressed with the game shown by his team against Leicester City. The Red Devils, nicknamed Man United, won 1-0 over Leicester City thanks to Jadon Sacho’s goal.
The match that is happened last Friday (2/9/2022) brings Man United to fifth place in the 2022-2023 Premier League standings. High fighting power and a strong mentality displayed by the Man United squad during the match which lasted 90 minutes. The improvement in the game shown by Man United can be a strong capital for the Red Devils to continue to climb at the top of the Premier League standings this season.
“We have 11 players on the pitch who are fighting each other and playing for the same goal. Once again we showed a good team spirit,” said the Dutch coach after the match, quoted from the club’s official website. “I’m happy with the clean sheet we kept. When our 11 players played on the pitch, we defended together and attacked together,” said Erik ten Hag.
Despite the Red Devils’ good results, Ten Hag didn’t shy away from the need to improve the game and continues to grow in this season. In addition, Ten Hag also considered that Casemiro and Ronaldo performed well. Nonetheless, the Portugal national team captain still hasn’t been able to open the tap until the fifth week of the 2022-2023 Premier League. Ten Hag hopes that both players can continue to maintain fitness to contribute more to this season.
“Once Casemiro and Ronaldo are getting fitter, they will have more to contribute to the team,” said Ten Hag. Meanwhile, Man United’s new winger, Antony, is certain to play against Arsenal in the next match. “We have to continue to see about him (Antony). He had his first training today and then we have two team sessions. Let’s see on Sunday,” said Erik ten Hag.
Currently, Man United have nine points from five games and determined to be able to continue to compete in the top four of the 2022-2023 Premier League standings.
