Liverpool saw what we could do – Ten Hag boasts

Manchester United ousted Liverpool from the FA Cup quarter-final stage, after beating Jurgen Klopp’s side 4-3 in extra time.

The Red Devils put on a show at Old Trafford, and Erik ten Hag expects more of the same to follow.

Speaking ahead of playing Brentford, Ten Hag said: “Did you see the game against Liverpool? How good we were on [the] transition? There was a lot of transitions there.

“No, but we can play very good on transition. But on the other hand and that is then the process we are not always, we came through that process by that point.

“We also have to recognise where we have to keep the ball, to keep the ball longer. Otherwise we are coming into a tennis match and when we want to play tennis, we go to Wimbledon.

“We want to play football and we have to [find] the good and the strong points we have to build it and to construct those moments.

“But on the other hand, we have to read the game and we have to control also in some moments the game by keeping the ball.”
