Following his side's outstanding 2-1 victory against arch-rivals Manchester City, Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag heaped praise on one of his ...

In top football, you have to suffer and sacrifice for getting the right result and to win something," added Ten Hag. The Dutch manager then went on to explain how Rashford's sacrifice eventually helped him receive his reward and contribute to the side's victory in the derby. You have to keep going, you have to do it to get the right result, to get the right performance.

Man United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is enjoying an unexpected career revival at Old Trafford.

He hardly played for the first half of the season with an injury keeping him sidelined but it's unlikely his minutes would have been much more even with a clean bill of health. It has been a remarkable turnaround for the 25-year-old. His replacement, Jack Grealish, did score but there was little he could do to stop his header as he had moved to cover the more obvious aerial threat from Haaland. Otherwise, it was a secure display from the right-back who rarely let an attacker get past him. Not to mention the several blunders he committed throughout the campaign which eventually saw him lose his place under Ralf Rangnick. Facing City and their wealth of attacking talent is a much tougher challenge.

Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag has added three Ajax stars to a list of players he wants to buy over the next 18 months, according to reports.

We have a massive game on Wednesday against Crystal Palace.” “We’re still in four competitions. If you play well or not you need to be winning, and recently we’ve been doing that.

Hard-won victory in Manchester derby showed newly resolute United have finally managed to shake off weight of the past.

The more they beat those challenging for European spots, the closer United will come to the title, and they are finding a formula to do it. For far too long, United have been dependant on their litany of stars producing moments of individual quality to turn matches in their favour but under Ten Hag the collective is more important. As City are learning, short spells of poor form can define a season and with Pep Guardiola’s side rapidly slipping out of the title race, third-placed United need to maintain momentum put pressure on their rivals. They are able to shift mindsets with ease and maintain their confidence to execute a plan.

Match-winner Rashford put his body on the line after pulling up in the first half with an injury. Shaw is a fine example of the progress made under Ten Hag. Since then he has impressed Ten Hag with his attitude and performances, and has been able to adapt to playing centre-back. In the game against them in October we learned a big lesson. We were ready for that – 100% everybody had to be ready today, even those starting on the bench.

Further forward, United pressed as a four-man unit to slow down City’s progress, preventing the defence from instigating attacks.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has insisted that talk of winning the Premier League title in his debut season is 'ridiculous'.

“It’s too early to think about that,” said the left-back, who has been shining in a central role in recent weeks.
