Man Utd

Second-half substitute Marcus Rashford scored the match-winning goal, but the manager felt his side created more than enough chances to secure the points ...

We also today created a lot of chances and once again we had a clean sheet, so it shows that we are hard to beat and that this is a team that can defend very disciplined, and we have to keep that process going. In the first half, the pressing was not that good, in the second I thought we were far better." He is in a good mood and spirit, so he was ready to give the answer. But in the second half it was a good reaction from the team but of course I want it from the start." Every time to refresh, to have the energy, the right attitude, today in the first half we didn't succeed in that. They have good players and a good team, so we had to be [on the] front foot but we were not in the first half, I wasn't happy with the performance.

Erik ten Hag takes charge of Man Utd's reserve team to create a pathway for younger players to develop and play.

That was the only way I could have influence on the flow of young, talented players towards the first team. Like at Ajax, when I entered Manchester United the reserve team was isolated. That authority has been further increased recently as the Dutchman has also taken charge of the reserve team as well as the first team in order to create a clearer route first team football for academy graduates.

Jadon Sancho has returned to Manchester United after a layoff for 'mental and physical' reasons, but will train alone before rejoining the squad.

Speaking to reporters, the United boss said: "The time is not now [for him to return to the squad] but he is making progress. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ten Hag has confirmed that the player has now returned to the club but he is still not in a position to train with the first-team squad. Instead he spent time training individually in the Netherlands during the break, but was still not in contention for a place in United’s matchday squad when they faced Burnley in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on December 21 or Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on December 27.

Erik ten Hag has decided to instil a culture change at Manchester United and it has resulted in some brutal punishments including the treatment of Cristiano ...

Ten Hag handled the latter excellently and decided to not include Ronaldo in the matchday squad at all for the trip to [Chelsea](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/chelsea-fc) after breaching rules and recalled him straight away for their following game in the Europa League. Last season, United had lots of issues with players going to see their agents first and leaking stories out to the press, which causes lots of problems. The players have to eat exactly what is prepared by the club, so that Ten Hag can easily monitor their diet and how they are functioning on a daily basis. This was another breach of his contract and United ended his terminating his deal by mutual consent, and there's little doubt Ten Hag also had a say on the decision. The Dutchman wants to develop a strong bond with United's players, believing reciprocal trust and respect is one of the key factors behind any successful team. Each United player has a custom-made diet plan drawn up and will have their Body Mass Index (BMI) checked monthly to make sure they are staying in shape. The 25-year-old overslept and was late to a team meeting prior to the Red Devils' clash at Molineux on December 31, and was therefore dropped to the bench. Having demanded the change the way United play from the academy upwards, Ten Hag took charge of the reserve team last week in a bid to open up a better pathway into his senior side. This was despite how well a player was performing and their importance to the team as he tried to change the ethos and culture at Old Trafford. There were many question marks raised about Ronaldo's future ever since Ten Hag was appointed given his style of football and the forward's unwillingness to press from the foot. However, the Red Devils have gone from strength to strength since Ten Hag gave his squad a brutal punishment after the 4-0 defeat at Brentford. The Red Devils have won 10 of their last 14 league matches and are in an ideal position to challenge for a top-four place following their 1-0 win over Wolves on Saturday afternoon.

"In the background, of course, we have our strategies, how to deal with it.
