Looks like Manchester United (Wednesday) are finally starting to connect under Eric Ten the brotherand showed great ability when they beat Tottenham 0:2 at Old Trafford, moving up to fifth place in the Premier League, and the Dutch manager stated: “I think it was our best performance of the season so far.
However, despite this, Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines again. “Last season we lost to Ronaldo, not to United,” Antonio Conte said before the game, and this time the Portuguese did not participate at all. Around the 89th minute, when the Portuguese realized he would no longer play, he went down to the dressing room and Ten Haah said at the end: “I saw him, but I will take care That’s tomorrow.”
The Dutchman continued: “Today we celebrate this victory and need to recover because we have another big game on Saturday against Chelsea. The Premier League is so exciting.” He also said about the victory: “I think they saw today how we developed and saw in the last few weeks how we grow during the season. The truth is that I did not expect this because the Spurs are good this season, but it was a great performance and I hope it sets a new standard for the season.”
Former Newcastle star and current Amazon commentator, Alan Shearercriticized the Portuguese: “I understand his frustration, but in the big picture his team played a very good game and it was a significant decision by the coach to leave him out, but it turned out to be correct because they did everything we did. For Ten Haah it is difficult, because we are talking For the best player in the world, maybe the best we’ve ever seen, so there’s some pressure on him and it makes it difficult for him.”
Unlike Ronaldo, another former Real Madrid player did receive compliments: “This club, this team, needed a player like Casemiro,” said ten Haah about the Brazilian who recorded a successful performance in midfield. “He showed in the last games what he can do for the team.”
Another reason for optimism comes from Lisandro Martinez and Rafael Varan. The two became United’s leading stoppers, and when they both started the season, the Red Devils achieved seven victories, in five of which they kept a clean sheet.
