Manchester United’s coach, Erik ten Hag is staying positive despite their recent poor performances and the long list of injured players. United is set to play their high-flying rivals, Liverpool, with 11 first-team players out. The coach remains confident in his team’s ability to defy the odds.
Liverpool is currently at the top of the Premier League, ten points ahead of United. Ten Hag acknowledges Liverpool’s formidable form but remains undeterred. The team’s challenge will be to go head-to-head with their rivals, similar to their recent tough games against Bayern Munich.
Even with a long list of absentees, including Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, Anthony Martial, Victor Lindelof, and Mason Mount, Ten Hag believes his confident team can still win the game. Despite the challenges, the team is preparing in the best way possible and is confident in their ability to win against Liverpool.
The long list of injuries makes the upcoming match against Liverpool even more daunting. Liverpool has won four of the past five league meetings against United, scoring at least four goals in those wins. However, Ten Hag dismisses the notion that his players might be scared of another heavy defeat.
Even though United suffered a record 7-0 defeat against Liverpool in March, Ten Hag believes this season’s team is different. He is urging his players to be confident and ready to face the challenge. While acknowledging the past experience, he is determined to prepare his team to fight and challenge from start to finish, with the sole intention of winning.
United is optimistic about the upcoming game, despite the odds being stacked against them. The coach’s positive outlook and determination show that the team is ready to put up a fight. The match will be a test of United’s resilience and ability to bounce back from recent setbacks, and the team remains undeterred in the face of adversity.
