LONDON – If there is one thing that Erik ten Hag learnt from having dinner with Alex Ferguson last week, it is probably the mind games that the former Manchester United manager was most synonymous with. On Friday, the Dutchman warned match officials to be wary of...
“The key word is intensity. They do really well. But they’re an annoying team to play against, they try to annoy you, so we have to find a way to win.”
When asked if his “annoying” remark was a reference to Newcastle’s slow play, he explained: “The referees want to play effective time . Newcastle have the lowest in the league and they are quite successful with it. Opta also said the effective time was only 53.4 per cent of the match when United were held to a 0-0 draw by Newcastle at Old Trafford in October.
But they could be without the in-form Marcus Rashford, who was substituted in the 88th minute at Old Trafford because of injury.
