Man Utd can beat ‘anyone’ at their best, says ten Hag after win over Aston Villa

Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag

Erik ten Hag said his Manchester United side can beat anyone when playing at their best following their 3-2 comeback win over Aston Villa.

United found themselves 2-0 down at half-time after goals from John McGinn and Leander Dendoncker but a double from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund’s first Premier League goal saw ten Hag’s side secure a much needed three points at Old Trafford.

And the United boss insists he has been happy with the performances despite recent results.

He explained: “We were competitive with Arsenal, we were competitive with Liverpool. If we play at our best, we can beat anyone.

“Believe in it. Even when you are 2-0 down, keep going, show the character, and I think today it showed. We have the personalities to do it and today I think was a very good team performance.

“People don’t see, they only judge the result. At West Ham United, we also played a solid game, but they see the result and they’re only complaining.

“I know football is about results and you get judged by the results, it’s normal, but as a manager you also have to see the performance. We dictated that game at West Ham.”
