Erik Ten Hag hails Manchester United’s great home record this season: It was one of our aims

Manchester United’s head coach Erik Ten Hag is delighted with his team’s great home record in the ongoing season. The Dutchman revealed that it was one of their aims to maintain a good record while playing at home.

While playing at their own fortress of Old Trafford, the Red Devils have won 16 out of the 19 games across all competitions. The 52-year-old feels his team can show more personality while playing away from home.

While speaking to the media ahead of the match against Leeds United, Ten Hag said, “It was one of our aims this season, to get that (form) back. So, it was our aim as a part of the process to restore Man United to the club that we want. But as I say, it’s a part of it. I think (our form at) home is good. I think also we have away also good results but in away games, we can be even more, and show more personality.”

The Dutchman is happy with the team’s process and wants the players to play with passion while playing away from home.

“The next step we have to make is to have the same team on the pitch and the same personality as we are at home. But, yeah obviously I’m really happy with the process that we are showing at home,” Ten Hag added.

Speaking on the fixture against Leeds United, the gaffer added that the match holds a lot of value for the fans as well as the players.

“It’s about the match of the roses. Yeah, it’s definitely a big, big game in this part of England and it’s a big game for us. We know we have Man City, we have Liverpool, but as well for our fans this game means so much and our players are aware of that and they know what to do,” said Ten Hag.
