Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag dubbed their victory over Liverpool as "f***ing great".

Victory over the Reds has sparked United's season and in the aftermath Ten Hag messaged good friend Hans Kraay Jr.

The day after the win, on Goedemorgen Eredivisie, Kraay Jr revealed a text he received from the United manager: "I had texted him, because I liked that after two horrible matches he is now finally booking victories.

"I congratulated him, and then he texted back: 'F***ing great'."

Kraay Jr also said of the improvement in United: "Erik ten Hag is pre-eminently a trainer who wants to build up, but even he allows a far goal kick against Liverpool. Then it must be connected within six seconds."

Kraay Jr insists Ten Hag didn't play the long ball: "Erik ten Hag calls it 'playing over the first press'."
