Man utd’s Ten hag excited about his Europa league matchup with Mourinho
Erik ten Hag referred to Jose Mourinho as “an example for many, many managers” and expressed his excitement for this week’s Europa League matchup with the former Manchester United manager. This week, United travels to Istanbul to play Fenerbahce, which will bring Mourinho back together with the Turkish team. Mourinho joined the Turkish team in June after being fired by Roma. Despite being a contentious figure at United during his tenure from 2016 to 2018, the Portuguese manager—who holds numerous managerial accolades—won both the League Cup and the Europa League.
After drawing their opening two Europa League games this season, United is under pressure, but manager Ten Hag is eager to challenge Mourinho on Thursday. At the Football Writers’ Association Northern Managers Awards dinner on Sunday, he remarked, “It’s a big game for both of us.” “I truly love playing against him and going up against him. He consistently fields strong teams, wins a ton of trophies, and I believe that he sets a great example for a lot of managers.” Ten Hag is once again the subject of intense scrutiny following a dismal start to the season; they are currently 11th in the Premier League with just three wins in eight games, despite leading United to FA Cup glory at the end of the previous campaign.
However, the Dutchman acknowledges that the territory comes with pressure. “You have to live for now; it’s football,” he uttered. We must pursue it because (what happened) is in the past and you must prove yourself every day and every season. “Our goal is to win a trophy again, but we are still early in the season and will see where it ends.” Ten Hag felt less pressure on Saturday as United overcame a 2-1 deficit to defeat Brentford at Old Trafford, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring the game’s winning goal.
