Statistically, this was Manchester United's biggest win under manager Ten Hag. Furthermore, this was the first time the Red Devils had scored more than four goals in a single match under the Dutch coach. Previously, Man Utd had two victories with the same 4-1 scoreline against Real Betis and Chelsea.
This is Man Utd's second consecutive victory in all competitions. Last weekend, they beat Southampton 3-0 in the Premier League.
Speaking at the press conference, coach Ten Hag said that Man Utd had a perfect night. The Dutch coach shared: "Yes. This was a perfect performance. Not for me, but for the whole team."
I think Man Utd did everything we planned before the match. I think about how we won, the next round, some great goals, bringing joy and entertainment to the fans… All of this makes me very happy.
We weren't devastated after the defeat against Liverpool. I'm not celebrating this victory anymore either. We're on a journey. Let's all wait and see where the team goes next May. The whole team needs to show their best and keep improving."
Rashford has regained his confidence after a very disappointing season last year (Photo: Getty).
In their last two matches, Man Utd have scored 10 goals, with Rashford contributing three of them. This is a positive sign for Man Utd, especially considering the 1997-born striker's disappointing season last year.
Speaking about Rashford's brilliance, manager Ten Hag said: "The goals don't just come from Rashford. We need more goalscorers. But I know that whenever Rashford scores, the team plays more easily. It's easy for a team if they have a striker who can consistently score goals."
Confidence is part of what helped Rashford get back on track. He's a talented guy. He's scored a lot of goals and is currently at his peak. But you need to prove it in every game. I've seen many top players lose their confidence after a long period without scoring."
This weekend, Man Utd will face Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Following that, Ten Hag's side will clash with Twente in the Europa League next week.
