Erik ten Hag praises Manchester United's composure in comeback win (The Guardian)

Erik ten Hag denied that Manchester United's shaky 3-2 victory at Omonia Nicosia was as concerning a performance as Sunday's 6-3 defeat at City.

“The movement from behind the defending line, so I hoped with Luke and Marcus we could get more effect from that and in my opinion that happens.” After half-time, we dealt well with the setback.” “It was not what I was unhappy with – it was the movement with our ball, the width on the left side, for me was no good first half,” said the Dutchman. Of the overall display, Ten Hag said: “I would call it: ‘[We] stay composed.’ This can always happen – football is a game of mistakes. If you are able to come back you have the performance that you need – a win. It’s not easy against an opponent who are so compact to create chances, and we created a lot of chances.

The ball fell to Tyrell Malacia who was then robbed by Omonia’s Brazilian forward Bruno. “He’s always cutting inside and either passing back to the full-back or having a shot.

Manchester United get Europa League win over Omonia Nicosia (ESPN Australia)

It was a frustrating night for Cristiano Ronaldo as Manchester United needed help off the bench to beat Omonia Nicosia.

[Borussia Dortmund](/football/team?id=124) in 2021 -- that [Jadon Sancho](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/259836/Jadon-Sancho) was supposed to show why United were so keen to sign him. [Cristiano Ronaldo](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/22774/cristiano-ronaldo) didn't want to play in this season now offers him the best chance to get a game. He fired one speculative free-kick high into the stands and then fluffed his best chance of the night when [Diogo Dalot](https://www.espn.com.au/football/player/_/id/238902/Diogo-Dalot) squared his pass across the box but Ronaldo saw his effort come back off the post. He's not doing enough to affect games regularly and has a habit of disappearing or taking the easy decision when he gets the ball. It was his poor pass which played Malacia into trouble for Omonia's opener and was quickly replaced at half-time with Rashford, who needed only eight minutes to score the equaliser. It's going to be a different game at Old Trafford, but we have seen them up close and know what their weaknesses are. United should have been out of sight well before Omonia scored their first and it was fortunate that Rashford and Martial were on hand to mount a rescue act in the second half. Despite dominating the first half in terms of possession and chances, United went in at half-time 1-0 down thanks to a shambolic But while there have been flashes of his ability with goals against [Liverpool](/football/team?id=364), Leicester and Sheriff, he's struggling to turn it on week after week. Rashford scored again to make it 3-1 before Nikolaos Panagiotou made it 3-2 late on to set up a nervous finish. [Highlights and notable moments](#highlights) [Best/worst performers](#bestworst)

Erik ten Hag asks his Manchester United side to 'play nasty' and be ... (The Guardian)

Erik ten Hag has said he wants Manchester United to be nastier and smarter as he attempts to make them challengers again.

“It’s not something that you build or can progress in a week or a month – it’s a system that has to be and a demand in top football. I have to keep reminding them to play smart but they have to play nasty as well.” We have seen it against Liverpool and Arsenal [when winning] but now we have to do it on a consistent basis; that is what we have to work for now. “We want to play tough, we want to keep the game going and then in the second minute it’s already a booking for Diogo. He referenced Diogo Dalot’s booking for a challenge on Jack Grealish in the opening moments of Sunday’s [6-3 loss at Manchester City](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/oct/02/manchester-city-manchester-united-premier-league-match-report). Like the first booking on Sunday, I really don’t understand.

Erik ten Hag: Man United must learn to play 'nasty' (ESPN Australia)

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has told his squad they must learn how to "play nasty" if they are going to be successful this season.

That is the demand from us, from the coaches to the players. They have recorded impressive wins over

Wayne Rooney urges out-of-favour Manchester United forward ... (The Indian Express)

Rooney, who played with Ronaldo at United between 2004-2009, said the 37-year-old will be finding his lack of game time hard to swallow.

He’s obviously not the player he was when he was 22 or 23, for instance. “Knowing him, it’ll be very difficult for him to sit on the bench … him and (Lionel) Messi are two of the greatest players to ever play the game, but ultimately time catches up with us all.

Cristiano Ronaldo in limbo: Manchester United legend unwanted by ... (ESPN Australia)

He's one of the greatest players of all time but nobody appears interested in Cristiano Ronaldo -- ESPN's Insider Notebook has the latest.

Guardiola was proven right and both Foden and [Kevin De Bruyne](https://www.espn.com.au/football/player/_/id/134947/Kevin-De-Bruyne) took advantage of gaps in the United back four, created by Martinez drifting across to Haaland, to tear Ten Hag's team apart. [Argentina](/football/team?id=202) international, who stands 5-foot-9 and was due to mark the 6-foot-4 Haaland. [6-3](/football/report?gameId=637903) having raced into a 4-0 half-time lead at the Etihad. But sources told ESPN that City's game-plan centred on Martinez being so preoccupied with marking Haaland that he would leave gaps for Foden to exploit in the left side of United's back four. The Nerazzurri, who announced losses of €140m last week, can't afford to let Skriniar leave on a free transfer so they could be open to accepting PSG's new offer. The move was a non-starter given just how late Chelsea's interest appeared as there was so little time to identify and sign a replacement. But they will need to get their act together much earlier before the deadline to land their man. But sources close to the club insist it remains unclear how much of a market there would be for the 37-year-old in January. Xavi Hernandez is also open to the return of his former teammate. The Dutchman has already been told it is highly unlikely there will be money to spend until next summer, reducing the possibility that a replacement could be found for the Portugal forward. Messi joined PSG in 2021 on an initial two-year deal with an option for an additional season if both parties wanted to extend their relationship. United are aware that he could look to move in January in a bid to find regular first-team football.
