Ten Hag dismissed suggestions his side's attack was toothless and likely to fail this season: "We have creatde a lot of chances in the first games of the season. Last week we scored seven against Barnsley - we are capable of scoring many goals. It's part of the game. We have to be better and improve. We have to kill more in the box."

Erik ten Hag said he would have preferred not to play against his former club, FC Twente, in the Europa League because it's "not nice to have to hurt something you love."

Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United future is on a “tightrope” as the decision makers at the club question his ability to get the side’s balance right after an extended period in charge of the first team.
