Ten Hag: “Of course [back Rashford to become the first #mufc to score 10 games in a row at Old Trafford].” [MUTV]

Ten Hag: “Luke [Shaw] is ill and Scott [McTominay] has a small problem.” [MUTV]

Ten Hag: “I think he [Maguire] is progressing really well in training what I see, so i hope he can do the same during the game.” [MUTV]

Ten Hag: “He [Maguire] did already, take his opportunity, but he was also ill straight after the World Cup. I should have played him but I shouldn’t – but this is his opportunity.” [MUTV]

Ten Hag: “I think we have many more than 11 starting XI players, and i think we can really good face this [schedule] in this moment.” [MUTV]

Ten Hag: “I don’t know why we shouldn’t [take the FA Cup seriously]. We want to win every game, so you play a good team, you play a strong selection.” [MUTV]

#mufc XI vs Reading: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelöf, Malacia, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Weghorst

🚨🚨🎙️| Erik ten Hag: “I never, never let players get opportunities - a player has to deserve those opportunities and they [Garnacho and Pellistri] are doing that by performances on the training pitch, and by performances when they are on the pitch on the match day.” [MU]

Ten Hag: "I can’t say [if Phil Jones will play again this season]. What I can say is he is not available for training and hasn't been since the first day of training this season. Then, the opportunity that you recovery quickly also goes."

Ten Hag on Phil Jones leaving #mufc at the end of the season: "There has not been a decision take about that, for the summer. The whole season he has been injured."

Ten Hag on Maguire: “After the World Cup he should have played but then he got ill. I can’t do anything about that and he knows that. Then you come in a run and he has to wait for his chance. I think those are the laws of football, from top football, from selection.” #MUFC

Ten Hag on Maguire: “No, he’s not fifth choice. But it’s up to him. I have to say he’s training very well, bringing quality and that is what I expect from all the players in the squad. He has to fight for his position and things can change, sometimes also really quickly.” #MUFC

Ten Hag: “In the first (part of the) season for instance, we had many problems in the front line. Often we had games where we didn’t have players who were 100 per cent physically and mentally fit.” #MUFC

Ten Hag: “The front line now also gives me a positive feeling, it’s getting stronger as well, and then they can take more benefit from each other.” #MUFC

Ten Hag: “It's obvious Marcus [Rashford] at this moment is in really good shape, really good form, from day to day, training to training, game to game, routines are coming more in.” #MUFC

Ten Hag: “When a player has confidence, then I'm convinced in the way we are working, the environment and culture is also important, the player can perform at their best.” #MUFC

Ten Hag: “With my coaching staff we brought structure, especially in the way he [Rashford] plays. We gave him some routines for what he needed to get in the right position, but then finally it's up to him.” #MUFC

Ten Hag on Rashford: “It's confidence, every player has to make and get their own confidence. He fought for it.” #MUFC

Ten Hag: “We want to stay in the competitions as long as possible. We have to fight for that and I think that's good for the development of the club.” #MUFC

Ten Hag: “Every day you have to get better so if there are opportunities to get better then you have to strike, that's my approach. I'm looking, doing research, I have an idea and have profiles to strengthen the squad.” #MUFC
