Europa League: The Players Kept Believing They Could Score – Erik Ten Hag

Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has congratulated his side after a late goal was enough for the Red Devils to defeat Omonoia Nicosia in the Europa League.

Scott McTominay scored in the 93rd minute to lift Manchester United past Omonia Nicosia 1-0 at Old Trafford.

Addressing journalists after the game, Ten Hag said he was impressed with his side’s determination to win the game.

Ten Hag said: “What you see is that in every game except against Brentford we score, so in this team, there’s a lot of creativity and scoring capabilities. Sometimes you have a night when you will not succeed and, for some players, this was that night.

“But what the good thing is – and I have to congratulate the team for that – they kept going and they didn’t give up. They kept believing they would the score and, in the end, they got rewarded. That is how you have to do it.

“I’ve had, unluckily, many more nights when you play well, you create chances but you don’t net. Football is about scoring goals and avoiding them.”

“I would say the performance until the box was good, but then the finishing was not that good tonight. Let’s hope we save the goals for the coming week.”
