Man Utd boss Ten Hag happy with youngsters for preseason win

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was happy with young pair Noam Emeran and Joe Hugill for their preseason win against Leeds.

Both players scored for the 2-0 victory.

Ten Hag said: “It's the first game and I think we have seen some good things. We've already trained over the last year, so we have a good foundation. You can see that in the game. But yeah, also some young lads came in and they fit in. We are now one week [into] training. We presented the rules and the principles. And what I see, what can I say: we have seen some good stuff.

“They're coming in and it's a big moment when you are coming up in the squad, in the first team. You deserve game time because over long years you work for it. And then that moment in a very good and nice stadium, with a good crowd, and in such ambience they're coming in and then score and win the game. That's very good and nice."
