(@LewVisualss) March 29, 2024 Talking about Mainoo ahead of Manchester United’s tie against Brentford, Ten Hag said:”I thought it was very good but we are not surprised,” Ten Hag said of Mainoo’s impact on international duty. “We know what he is capable of, he can very quickly adapt to high levels. It looks very natural and we are very happy for him.”Of course, it’s great for the academy of Manchester United to bring up a player so young going into the national team, it’s a big compliment for the whole club. For himself, because he did it but also for all the ones who worked with him during his time in the academy, it’s very good news for Manchester United.##NAJAVA_MECA_7992923##”Yes, but we have discussed this before. So far, he handles it very well and if he crosses the line, of course, I as a manager, we as coaches, will interfere.”But so far, it is not necessary because he wants to play football, he wants to win, he wants to give his best every day because he wants to improve, and he just wants to have fun on the pitch. Fun for him is to play dominant, to dictate the game and win the game,” concluded the Dutch tactician.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 30 Saturday 15.30: (1.95) Newcastle (3.80) West Ham (4.10)18.00: (2.20) Bournemouth (3.50) Everton (3.45)18.00: (1.30) Chelsea (5.80) Burnley (9.00)18.00: (2.30) Nott.Forest (3.40) Crystal Palace (3.35)18.00: (4.70) Sheffield Utd (3.80) Fulham (1.75)18.00: (1.25) Tottenham (7.00) Luton (12.0)20.30: (1.65) Aston Villa (4.00) Wolverhampton (5.20)23.00: (3.20) Brentford (3.50) Man.Utd.
