Man United vs Twente Match Preview

An Emotional Ten Hag, In Need Of A Merciless United Team

Twente is the club after Ten Hag's heart, a club he played and also served as an assitant manager along with former United coach McClaren, who was head coach. The duo won Twente's only Eredivisie title back in 2009, McClaren conceded that when he arrived at Twente, he noticed Erik's stamps all over the club, from the youth teams all the way to the senior squad, 13yrs later, the duo combined again for another stellar season, only this time they were at English Football's biggest club and the roles of Manager and Assistant had switched. Ten Hag admitts to watching FC Twente not as an analyst but as a fan, "I would have preffered to play against somebody else. It's not nice to hurt something you Love." As emotional as Ten Hag might be, he still needs to ensure his team are as ruthless as they were one week ago at Old Trafford against Barnsley, United have the most big chances missed in the Premeir League this seaon with 17, after scoring 7 without reply against Barnsley, one would not be questioned for suspecting the goal droughts to be over. But after the first half at Selhurst Park last weekend, one would also be right if he suspected United were jinxed, four big chances were wasted and former keeper Dean Henderson was beaten twice in two seconds, only his bar was not and the score remaind 0-0. The only reason Ten Hag is still Manager at United is the fact that he has won two trophies, the Europa League will be an excellent addition to the trophy cabinet, therefore his players cannot be as emeotional as he is later today.

Line-ups And Injuries

The talking point of the last game was Marcus Rashford not starting, Ten Hag insisted he just rotating his team and there was no special reason for the decision, he then proceeded to call some Pundits specifically Jamie Redknapp "crazy" for suggesting otherwise, however many will expect Rashford to start today. Ten Hag has confirmed that the squad this evening will be the same with that of the weekend, however the manager has been known to make rotations so we should expect some today.
