Erik Ten Hag insists Manchester United can beat “any opponent” as they approach Liverpool.The pressure is mounting on Ten Hag due to the Red Devils’ stuttering form.
Manchester United lost 0-3 to AFC Bournemouth at Old Trafford last weekend and also lost at home to Brighton and Crystal Palace. The Red Devils are only sixth in the Premier League, 10 points behind leaders Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp’s men welcome Manchester United to Anfield on Sunday after a famous 7-0 victory last season. Manchester United must first win the Champions League against Bayern Munich. They will need to beat the Bundesliga champions and hope for a draw between Galatasaray and Copenhagen to reach the play-offs.
There is little faith among United fans at the moment following reports that the Ten Hag has lost the trust of some members of the dressing room. Ahead of the match against Bayern Munich, the Old Trafford boss said: “We played really well and had some important moments. We can beat any opponent.
“It’s against Chelsea, Everton and even against Galatasaray. This team is capable of performing at a very high level. We have to solve this problem. It is my duty to develop the team. I will give everything and so will the team. I can show them pictures of Chelsea. “If you plan well, you can beat any opponent,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Manchester Evening News report that United are ready to offer five players ahead of the January transfer window. Jadon Sancho – already banned by Teng Hags – Rafael Veran, Casemiro, Donnie van de Beek and Anthony Martial are all redundant.
