Erik ten Hag is very happy with the sacrifice of his team

Manchester United defeated Leicester City tonight at the King Power Stadium to get their third win in a row in the Premier League. The Red Devils’ manager talked to BT Sport after the game, where he talked about the changes the team has been doing in the last couple of games where they have turned the situation around.

He praised the sacrifice of his team in transitions: “We can be dangerous in the transition moments. There were many spaces in the second half but did not explore them that well. We should have scored a second goal. I’m happy with the clean sheet. The eleven players on the pitch defend and attack together. You can see what we can achieve”, he told BT Sport.
