As stated by the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are set to visit Turf Moor for a Premier League match against Burnley this Saturday.
In anticipation of the upcoming clash, Burnley manager Vincent Kompany praised Erik ten Hag, referring to him as a highly competent manager.
This comes up after increased pressure on the Dutch coach after the Red Devils slumped to yet another defeat against UCL opponents Bayern Munich on Thursday.
During a pre-match press conference, Kompany expressed his admiration for Ten Hag as he said:
“You always need time to adapt and improve – not just for Erik Ten Hag but all of us. One thing this manager has demonstrated is that he is extremely capable. There is no doubting that.”
