This is the perfect night for the team – Erik Ten Hag after 7-0 win against Barnsley

Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag feels it was a perfect night for the team after their 7-0 demolition of Barnsley in the third round of the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford on Tuesday. The trio of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Christian Eriksen scored respective braces whereas Antony also scored from a spot kick to give a thumping win to their team.

The Red Devils took 26 shots, out of which 13 were on target. The hosts also dominated the possession with 66% and ticked all the right boxes.

“Not for me but for the team this is the perfect night,” Ten Hag said afterwards. “I think we could do everything that we planned to do; how we win, next round, scored some great goals, entertained the fans, we worked on our game model so we are happy.”

Ten Hag showered praise on Marcus Rashford for scoring a brace and continuing his good form.

“I know from my first season here that when he scores then, for the team, it’s more easy,” said Ten Hag. “When you have a player in your squad who is a guarantee for goals then it can make the difference. You can do a lot of things very well between the boxes but football matches are decided in the box.”

United had suffered a 3-0 loss against Liverpool and the Dutchman he wants to keep the balance as he feels he has the right players to deliver on the big stage.

“I was not devastated after Liverpool and I am not celebrating now,” said Ten Hag. “It is a never-ending process. I know where I want to go, in which direction. I know we have a lot of speed, dynamic and we have seen this today and we have players capable of dominating possession. We have to work even harder to get all the stages of the game right.”

Manchester United will next take on Crystal Palace at the Selhurst Park on Saturday.
