Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was happy with their 1-0 defeat of Bournemouth.

Casemiro struck the only goal on the day at Dean Court.

Ten Hag said: "We go from game to game and today we are happy I think. A great performance, a good team performance. The first 25 minutes was really good, it was a brilliant performance from our team. Building up, staying compact, the counter press... a lot of things were magnificent. I hope we can stay longer at such levels and that is what we have to work for.

"I think the whole midfield played brilliantly this afternoon. We're coaching a lot of movement behind and now it's coming out of the third line. It's a great run from Casemiro and great touch from Christian Eriksen. And the finish is brilliant, of course it was.

"That is, I think, a symbol from this season. We are not scoring so easily. Nevertheless, we have scored over 100 goals during the season. That's a lot. But also, we played a lot of games. What we have to improve to score more easily as that makes life easy, because now we have to fight until the end [of games].

"A win is always good. Now we have three games to go, but we must focus on the first game and we need a [point] to be secure of the Champions League position."
