Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag gives instructions to Harry Maguire before he comes on as a substitute.In the span of eight days, Manchester United reached the FA Cup final and further cemented a Premier League top-four spot with Sunday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa to cap what manager Erik ten Hag called “a brilliant week”.
United defeated Brighton 7-6 in a penalty shoot-out in the FA Cup semifinals last Sunday and then played Tottenham to a 2-2 league draw, but Ten Hag was critical of his side after that game for giving up a two-goal lead.“When you are in a semifinal in a tough game against a good opponent we have seen in the week, we played a very good game to get through to the final,” the Dutchman said.
But the 28-year-old Portugal international did not sit out, and when asked what that says about his resilience, Ten Hag said “A lot”.“A couple of weeks ago, were questioning about his captaincy. It's crazy, because he's such a big leader, by example. He gives so much energy to the team besides his smartness, but also his determination, his passion and his resilience.
