Manchester United's pre-season form seems to be delighting Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag, who was delighted with the performance of his players in the final pre-season game of the season, which ended in victory over Real Betis.
"I think it was okay, the lads did well. At the start, we had some problems in getting control and we went 1-0 down which shouldn't happen. I actually think this was the first time they entered our box. But then we took over and we bounced back, I think we made three really good goals," Man Utd boss said.
"What we want to achieve is we want to be very proactive and very aggressive and it doesn't matter if sometimes we are high (up the pitch) or sometimes in a lower block. We have to be very aggressive and in order to get this we need to start the press at certain points and all be on one page."
The Old Trafford boss also spoke about squad rotation, stating that everyone needs to play more minutes "to come up to match fitness". "The games will get tougher and I think on Saturday it will be a very good test when we face Liverpool. That is very good preparation for the new season."
Asked about Red Devils youngster Diallo, the Dutchman said he is having a good pre-season. "Amad is performing well and (he is having) a good pre-season so far. You could see absolutely he is making an uplift in his game. Also in the defending part with the counter-press but also with the pressing he is doing really well. So I am really pleased with his performance," concluded Ten Hag.
