Ten Hag on Coventry
Man United boss Erik Ten Hag appreciated Coventry’s journey in the press conference. Ten Hag said, “It’s a huge performance from them and they did so well last season. They were only so close to promotion to the Premier League, then they lost some good players and then you have to rebuild and that’s normal but they are still playing and fighting for promotion because they can still go into the playoffs and go for another chance into the Premier League.”
