Man Utd boss Ten Hag delighted with attacking trio for victory over Lens

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was happy with their 3-1 preseason win against Lens today.

Antony particularly impressed Ten Hag, having scored once and also making an assist.

"For Rashy, of course, a typical Rashy goal I would say, how we come out of the back from a defender and then the finishing, a great assist from Antony, I'm very pleased with his performance, he's improving," Ten Hag told MUTV.

"With Garna I think that second goal is a brilliant goal, the movement, the dribble from Garna, then inside the movement and the timing from Rashford, it opens up and it's a great pass from Garna and a first touch and finish [from Antony]."

He added: "Once you win the ball against them it's very open, then we have Antony, Rashford, Garnacho, very quick, very direct, they could all score a goal.

"With the overload in possession you can create chances against Lens, who played very brave but you have to punish them, and I think finally we did.

"We have players on the pitch who can decide games, we don't even talk about Mason Mount or Bruno who can make a pass or score a goal."
