Premier League: Ten Hag praises ‘almost perfect’ Manchester United defence in draw against Liverpool

The Hindu  

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag credited his side’s “almost perfect” defending for a 0-0 draw at Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday after it crashed out of Europe in midweek. After United’s 3-0 league loss at home to Bournemouth last week, coupled with the fact they were throttled 7-0 at Anfield last season -- some Liverpool fans were wearing “7-0” Christmas sweaters to Sunday’s game. “I didn’t think they had a defensive performance like that in them.” Fellow ex-United player Roy Keane said Ten Hag’s side would be delighted with a draw that leaves them in seventh place. “It’s a start, but the problems are still there, lack of power, lack of goals.” Ten Hag praised defenders Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans plus goalkeeper Andre Onana, who stood strong against Liverpool’s 34 shots to United’s six.
