Manchester United 3 v Nottingham Forest 2. Ten Hag : “It is a horror start giving them two goals and of course making mistakes but I am very pleased with the comeback. The leadership, how we stayed calm and composed, stuck to the plan, stuck to the belief and turned it around. We played very good football and out of our plan and our rules, we scored very good goals.
“At the start, every team has areas where they need to improve and definitely we also have some. But we have to progress there if we are to be successful. But you can see that this team has good character, good personality. There is a good spirit and energy in the team. They found a way to win.”
Fernandes was crucial to that, United’s outstanding performer. “I think in almost all aspects he played very good game of the highest level. Keeping calm, keeping his emotions under control and at the right moment using his emotions. He was brilliant in attack, making the difference. I was very pleased with his performance.”
Ten Hag on protest : “What it is about is they are entitled to have that opinion. But you see also that between the fans and the team there is a very strong bond. Throughout my time here it becomes stronger and stronger. Today, I think again we make it stronger because a magnificent comeback will help the supporters. We get big support away from home and at Old Trafford and we need to strengthen that.”
And on Varane : “He had complaints so we did not want to risk him. We have Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof as good replacements so we do not take risks when there are complaints. If it is really bad we don’t know. We have to wait.”
