The ‘Ten Hag Ball’ was in full action as Manchester United defeated Leicester City, and the fans were ecstatic.
Man United defeated Leicester 1-0 at the King Power Stadium on Thursday to win their third straight Premier League game.
Erik ten Hag is currently on a three-game winning streak after the team recovered from an embarrassing loss at Brentford.
With his team playing some amazing one-touch football in their league victory, his philosophy is beginning to shine.
Man United made SEVEN deft one-touch passes in the 26th minute to get past Leicester’s press and launch their own assault.
After recovering the ball and setting Diogo Dalot up, Christian Eriksen played it in and passed it to Lisandro Martinez.
The Argentine defender then played a beautiful pass to Bruno Fernandes, who then backheeled the ball to Tyrell Malacia.
The astounding sequence went on when the Dutch left-back played it back to Eriksen, who then gave it to Martinez, who once again displayed his impeccable distribution by making a wonderful pass to Fernandes.
The team’s attack was officially unveiled by the Portuguese midfielder, completing off an amazing series of passes that had converted defense into offense.
Without a doubt, Man United’s play against Leicester went viral on social media.
“Fast & accurate passes to dodge the press and then turn it into an attack,” one Twitter user commented.
Another wrote: “Do we engage in football? Erik ten Hag, many thanks.”
“Now we look like a football team, how bizarre it feels,” a third person commented.
Ten Hag loved what he saw from his players as they secured their third league win of the season.
Although he wants his team to be more ruthless, he feels there is still potential for growth.
After the outcome, he stated: “We can be dangerous during the transitional periods. The second part included a lot of empty areas, but they weren’t really fully explored. We ought to have added another goal.
“I am pleased with the spotless record. Together, the eleven players on the field defend and attack. You can see the results we can get.
“We need to be [ruthless] more. There is still room for development.
