Ten Hag optimistic about Man United's mentality in Wolves win

Manchester United took all three points in their 2023/2024 Premier League opener against Wolves at Old Trafford. However, the Red Devils were criticised in the English press for not performing to a high standard and many felt that the Mancunian side did not deserve the win against Gar O'Neil's side, who had several chances to equalise and even come from behind.
Erik ten Hag, while acknowledging that his team could have performed better in their first game of the season, took some positives from it: "You have to find the foundation of the season and collect points. If we want to keep collecting points, we will have to play better than we did.
"But there were positives: the defensive organisation, the clean sheet, and the mentality. We found a way to win," he added.
"It was a tough game. We can do a lot of things better, but I also see a lot of positive things. I saw six or seven good high-ball regains, and then we have to take more from the turnovers. In a low block, we defended our lives, and we survived it," concluded the former Ajax head coach.
