Erik ten Hag was pleased with his team’s performance in the 2-0 win over Burnley in the 3rd round of the Carabao Cup.
Manchester United achieved a comfortable victory despite not being at their best.
United opened the scoring on 27 minutes after a beautiful pass from Bruno Fernandes found Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who squared the Dane to finish into the net.
Marcus Rashford’s brilliant solo goal early in the second half gave the hosts an unquestionable lead.
Ten Hag praised the Englishman in his post-match interview.
“I think he [Rashford] He invested a lot once again with a lot of runs behind the defense line and scored a great goal on the dribble, great finishing. I think he is in great shape and of course I hope he can keep the focus on him and this performance.”
“I think he [Rashford] He is at a very good level, his performances are improving a lot from one game to the next. He is a constant threat, but also in many other games this season he has scored a lot of goals and does a lot of defensive work.”
???? “It’s so dangerous!”

Ten Hag was asked about the situation surrounding Jadon Sancho.
He has reportedly been on an individual training regimen in the Netherlands set up by Ten Hag himself.
Asked about Sancho’s return, the Dutchman said he had no idea.
Fans hope that the situation will be resolved as soon as possible. It seems worrying.
