Erik ten Hag was pleased with his side’s performance in their 1-0 victory over Real Betis in the UEFA Europa League round of 16.
Manchester United booked their place in the quarterfinals, with a comfortable win over the La Liga side.
Ten Hag’s men were professional and dealt with Betis in every department.
The first half was a bit sloppy, but the team took control in the second half and scored the killing goal.
Marcus Rashford continued his goalscoring exploits with a scintillating strike.
In his post-match interview, Ten Hag stated:
“I’m happy, but we like challenges. Betis are a good team, but we beat them twice, so I think we performed very well.”
He went on to praise Bruno Fernandes, who was amazing today.
Ten Hag on Fernandes: “He is an athlete, has so much energy, he can play so many roles. Tactically he is brilliant, overloads so we can outplay opponents. We create good situations + chances. He is very important in the counter press. He looks like he is getting better.” #MUFC

Ten Hag was asked about Facundo Pellistri‘s performance, to which he replied:
Ten Hag on Pellistri: “It’s about training performance, you see him progressing, getting stronger. Good game v Leeds, Betis. To start is more difficult. But when game goes on he got belief, you see his abilities, his dribbles, crosses, runs behind, defending did his job.” #MUFC
