Even after watching Manchester United suffer yet another setback, Erik ten Hag is adamant that he can inspire his team. Arsenal made sure that the Premier League title match would go to the very end of the season with a goal from Leandro Trossard that proved to be the crucial factor. Nonetheless, the Dutchman feels that his team applied the proper spirit and that United’s supporters are behind the club.

Despite Manchester United’s 1-0 loss to title-chasing Arsenal, Erik ten Hag is adamant that he can inspire his team.

At a drenched Old Trafford, Leandro Trossard’s 17th goal of the year proved to be the difference, but the Dutchman was happy to see his team progress after a dismal 4-0 loss against Crystal Palace on Monday.

United now sits in eighth position, three points behind Chelsea and Newcastle, and their next games will determine whether they advance to Europe.

In front of United’s final two Premier League games and their FA Cup final against Manchester City, Ten Hag thinks he can still inspire his team.

He stated: “I have no doubt about this [that he can motivate his players] because as I sаy, maybe at Palace, but I think they are human beings.”Based on my observations, it will inevitably occur once every three months; your mindset is off.

“On Monday, we had such a night, but mostly this team always has the right spirit, and they always execute the rules and the principles of the game and how we want them to play.”I’m thrilled because I believe that everyone who participated gave it their best; they fought and competed, and the outcome is evident.”

Prior to United’s final three games of the season against Newcastle, Brighton, and City, Ten Hag is under increasing pressure.

 

The Dutchman’s team is beleaguered by injuries, and he will once more start midfielder Casemiro at center defense against the Gunners.

Ten Hag, though, didn’t take long to stand up for the Brazilian international.

 

“It is a midfielder playing out of position,” he stated. “Making small mistakes, but they have hard consequences.”Every game is a final for a player for United; we have to perform and win each and every one. We ought to be aware of this.”

 

Manchester United’s supporters were loud and proud at Selhurst Park and Old Trafford despite a challenging season, and they were not hesitant to support Ten Hag.

Even though the team’s results are not what he wants, he thinks the fans can see that his team is playing with the appropriate attitude.

“I think the fans understand this, where we are, where this club is,” he stated.
