'When you are critical – and I am – there is room for improvement because we should score more than three goals with the chances we create but I’m happy with creating all those chances.'
Date published: Wednesday 28th December 2022 8:23 -Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag expressed faith in the strikers he has at his disposal after watching Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial score in a comfortable victory over Nottingham Forest.
“I never spoke about that I have doubt about that on the counter side,” Ten Hag said. “We have Garnacho, we have Elanga, we have numbers as well, but those four didn’t play two games together. I think only Everton. Man Utd were strongly linked with Cody Gakpo in the summer and had been tipped to pursue the PSV Eindhoven forward again,“I’m not looking at other teams, I am looking at our team,” he said. “I am convinced of the squad we have, the players in our team, they have the capabilities, individual and as a team to compete with all of those teams.”
“You always question yourself after a break what will be the restart,” Ten Hag said. “The back four never played together and we had a player who never played ever in a centre-back position. Defeat for Forest keeps Steve Cooper’s side in the bottom three, and without a goal on the road since August. They had the ball in the net late in the first half but Willy Boly was offside.
