Ten Hag's Tactical Masterstroke
Harry Maguire's post-match commentary highlights the pivotal role played by Erik ten Hag's strategic genius. Amidst a tense faceoff with Liverpool, Ten Hag's decision to push for a more aggressive approach proved instrumental in Manchester United's triumph.
“We didn’t really get control of the game, so credit to the manager, he’d seen that and told us to be more aggressive. He put on an attacker and basically said, ‘Let’s go man for man.’ It worked. It enabled us to get higher up the pitch, put more pressure on them," he told the Times.
“I’m thinking he might put on a centre back to go a bit safer again. But no, credit, he wanted to stay aggressive and all the way through extra time he stuck with myself and Diogo [Dalot] being the only two defenders on the pitch. It was brave and it worked”.
