Erik ten Hag Eager for Europa Showdown with Jose Mourinho

Erik ten Hag expressed excitement about Manchester United’s upcoming Europa League clash against Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce, praising the former United manager as “an example for many managers.” Mourinho, who now manages the Turkish club after leaving Roma, boasts an illustrious career winning the League Cup and Europa League during his time at United from 2016 to 2018.

United approach the match under pressure, having drawn their first two Europa League fixtures this season. However, Ten Hag looks forward to the challenge, stating, “I enjoy facing him. He’s a winner and has claimed so many trophies.” Despite leading United to FA Cup glory last season, Ten Hag faces scrutiny following a poor start to this campaign with United currently 11th in the Premier League and only three wins from eight games.

Acknowledging the pressure, Ten Hag remains focused, saying, “You have to prove yourself every day and every season. Our goal is to win another trophy.” United’s crucial 2-1 comeback win over Brentford eased some of that pressure with Rasmus Hojlund scoring the decisive goal—his first Premier League goal since May.

Erik ten Hag expressed confidence in the 21-year-old Danish forward, emphasizing that Hojlund will continue to score as long as he stays fit. With Hojlund regaining form and Ten Hag eager to face Mourinho, United aim to regain momentum in both domestic and European competitions.
