Man Utd boss Ten Hag delighted with McTominay and Amrabat for victory over Chelsea

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was delighted with Sofyan Amrabat's performance for victory over Chelsea.

Ten Hag also heaped praise on two-goal Scott McTominay.

He said: "I think they played very strong, very dynamic, very proactive, in and out of possession. They won a lot of duels together. Scott came in the right positions and scored two great goals. We want him to play a little bit higher on the pitch.

"We want to reach him there. He has to make his runs in behind as he is strong on that. He has a good smell to come in the right moment in front of the goal. He is a very good finisher. I think Sofyan is settling in. He is progressing and you see he is getting more comfortable. Already last week, against Galatasaray, he was playing well. Tonight, he played well also."

On Sergio Reguilon's cameo, he added: "Sergio Reguilon came in, in the second half, and did very good. He gave good pressure over on the left side, good interceptions, but also in attacking, he had his contribution."
