Fulham boss Marco Silva is impressed by Erik ten Hag’s work at Manchester United and revealed what he’s noticed about Manchester United since Ten Hag took charge.

“You are talking about a team with a high, high quality, high individual quality.” said Silva. “They haven’t been so consistent, like they would like to be, of course.

“In some moments when they are in their best level, they are a really, really, really good team with a lot of quality all over the pitch, on the bench as well. They had some setbacks during the season so far, but we analysed them and we know what they are capable of and the quality they have.

“If they are at their best level, of course they are a really, really tough team to play against. And of course we analyse them thinking that they will be at their best level.

“It’s clear what they try to do, I think it’s easy to understand what they’re trying to do in every moment of the game. It’s up to us to keep preparing well, like we’ve been doing this week.”

Silva continued: “He is trying to create his own philosophy inside that big club. They moved in the market, they signed good players, they spent a good amount, which is normal in that football club to try to be stronger.

“They had a very good pre-season and, as I said before, some ups and downs during the season, but what I can tell you is that when they are at their best level they are a really good team.”
