Dutch delight
Erik ten Hag was pleased with Manchester United’s performance in their 1-0 victory over Brentford at Old Trafford last night.
The Red Devils returned to winning ways after a 2-0 loss at Newcastle last Sunday with Marcus Rashford’s first-half strike proving to be the difference against the Bees.
Ten Hag said: “Very important win. Of course, when you lose after the international break, you have to bounce back, so we did and I think it was a good performance as well.
“In the second half, when we did not get a second goal, it was more of a battle but then saw the determination, the passion and the desire that I missed on Sunday.
“I think this is the standard we have to bring in every game. It is not acceptable what we did on Sunday. We know that.
“This is not United, this is not the standards from United, so, yes, there were several things I was happy with.”
Miserable Moyes
David Moyes admits his job is under huge pressure after West Ham were thrashed 5-1 at home by Newcastle.
The visiting Magpies stormed into a 2-0 lead within the opening 15 minutes before Kurt Zouma headed home to give the Hammers hope.
But a costly mistake from Nayef Aguerd early in the second half gave Callum Wilson the chance to restore Newcastle’s two-goal margin and Alexander Isak and Joelinton piled on the misery inside the London Stadium.
An unhappy Moyes said: “I am really disappointed, we gave away a terrible first and second goal but not as bad as the third and fourth. That makes it difficult.
“At 2-1 at half-time I’m saying we’re right in the game, then 20 seconds later we had given ourselves a mountain to climb.
“As manager you always have to front up. I’m a big boy, I have left jobs at other times in the past and if that happens I’ll have to go with that.
“But I really like my job here, I have enjoyed my time here greatly and I really hope we have got a couple of big days ahead in the future. But we have been given a spanking tonight.”
