ERIK TEN HAG shut down Rio Ferdinand in a tense live TV interview.<\/p>\n
The Manchester United manager was quizzed on TNT Sports on the Craven Cottage pitch.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
His side grabbed a 91st-minute winner through captain Bruno Fernandes to snatch a 1-0 victory at Fulham.<\/p>\n
It ended a torrid week for United following 3-0 thrashings at home against Manchester City and Newcastle. <\/p>\n
But afterwards, legendary defender Ferdinand asked Ten Hag when fans will finally get to see the team playing his style effectively and consistently.<\/p>\n
However, the Dutchman was having none of it and fired back defiantly. <\/p>\n
Ten Hag said: "With all due respect, didn't we see it last season?"<\/p>\n Ferdinand replied: "Last season I saw it but this season we haven't."<\/p>\n A stumbling Ten Hag then added: "No. Anyone knows why – because we have so many injuries.<\/p>\n "Every time you have to swap, you have to make changes and the routines are not there. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n "That is what you see in these moments in our team. You have to be more pragmatic but I've always said it's not an excuse for not winning matches."<\/p>\n Ten Hag then went on to explain the need to have the same players regularly appearing together to build chemistry and momentum.<\/p>\n And at the end of the gaffer's spiel, Ferdinand gives a blunt "yeah" before Joe Cole asks another question.<\/p>\n Ten Hag then suggested Harry Maguire had a hand injury despite needing treatment after looking dizzy and keeling over.<\/p>\n But Ferdinand – who earlier tore into the Red Devils flops – took the conversation back to United's performances under Ten Hag.<\/p>\n He asked whether a consistent starting XI would enable the Red Devils to climb up the table by sealing a series of wins. <\/p>\n Ten Hag said: "I'm sure we can do. I'm sure we will improve if we get players back.<\/p>\n "Today was a solid performance – you see a base and a foundation we can improve on.<\/p>\n "You know as well, you need performances and then the points will come. I always want to improve the process and then the points will come. <\/p>\n "Sometimes you have to go more pragmatic, that is what we did in the last weeks but today I think it was an absolute improvement in performance."<\/p>\n United thought they had got an early lead when Scott McTominay finished but it was chalked off due to Maguire being offside in the build-up – despite not touching the ball.<\/p>\n Andre Onana made a string of second-half saves to keep Fulham out.<\/p>\n But just as it looked to be heading for a goalless draw, the Cottagers failed to clear their lines and Fernandes punished them with a low finish into the corner. <\/p>\n<\/picture>IF THE SHOE FITS <\/span><\/p>\n
