Postecoglou praises Ten Hag for ‘great job’ at Manchester United

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has come out in defence of Erik ten Hag and has insisted the Dutchman has done a ‘great job’ at Manchester United.

Spurs travel to face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday with both teams targeting a positive result after mixed starts to the campaign. United sit 11th in the table after five games, behind 10th-placed Spurs on goal difference.

 

Both sides are targeting Champions League qualification in 2024/25, with slow starts increasing the pressure on the respective managers.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Postecoglou backed Ten Hag and said the 54-year-old has done a ‘great job’ at Manchester United after trophy successes in each of his two seasons at Old Trafford.

“There’s always some manager under pressure,” the Australian said at his pre-match press conference.

“There must be a spinning board with all our faces on and whichever it lands on cops it for a week or two!

“He’s done a great job. He keeps mentioning he’s won two trophies and that’s not insignificant. Everyone keeps saying that is all I need to do but then there is always something expected after. It is a difficult job.

“It is tough to go to Old Trafford. Irrespective of managers, it is still a rather compelling home record. It is one we will be ready for.”

Postecoglou ‘proud’ of Archie Gray performances

Postecoglou was full of praise for summer signing Archie Gray ahead of the game with the teenager having impressed in multiple positions since arriving from Leeds.

Asked where he sees Gray playing his best football, Postecoglou said: “I see him in a Tottenham shirt and playing great football! From the moment he’s arrived he’s looked like a mature young man who has a great focus around the career ahead of him.

“He will be a significant contributor for us and I was really proud of the way he handled last night.”
