Reporter challenges Ten Hag on not starting Varane: ‘Did you actually say why?’
Erik ten Hag has defended not selecting Raphael Varane in Manchester United’s 3-0 loss in the derby against Manchester City.
When asked to explain his thinking behind his decision, the manager told a reporter: “I said it from the start... I just explained it to the question of Samuel (Luckhurst) why, so I have to explain again?”
When asked if he “actually explained why”, Ten Hag appeared to bristle at the follow-up question.
“Sorry? I said why... To play with Rapha and Maguire over the left, that can give problems and then you end up only kicking long balls,” he added.
