English media after late escape from Manchester United and Erik ten Hag: ‘Could be a turning point’ | Foreign football

According to The Guardian Ten Hag can only be positive about the mentality of his team. “He’s staggering. Where has the high pressure and progressive football gone a year after his first games? It seemed as if Ten Hag had no luck left when he had to put Maguire in the starting line-up next to Jonny Evans. The last time Evans and Londelöf played together at Old Trafford, Louis van Gaal was still coach.”

The DailyMail sees that Ten Hag ‘may’ have breathing space again after the denouement against Brentford. “But the large infirmary suggests that the end of the crisis at Old Trafford is not yet in sight. All those injuries bring the Dutchman, who works hard to stay afloat, down.”

“The problems surrounding Ten Hag continue to exist,” he also writes The Athletic, which also sees hope on the horizon. “If he had lost, the last bit of hope for his remaining as coach would have been wiped out. But the way United came back could be a turning point in the season.”

“The comeback shows that this team does not lack motivation and fighting spirit,” he said The Mirror. “But the team does lack defensive insight, a top-level goalkeeper and a distinctive match plan. It seemed like it would be a low point for Ten Hag’s career at United for a long time, but it turned out to be a small, personal and much-needed victory.”
