Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has given his opinion on the club's win over Chelsea.

The Red Devils had to get a result against the Stamford Bridge club at home in the Premier League.

An attacking performance saw United create numerous chances, only to rely on two Scott McTominay goals to win 2-1.

On the players' response, Ten Hag told reporters: "I don't see that in facts of a response. We play now four games after the break, so we had one disappointing result and we had two before this night, very good performances.

Today, again, a very good performance and, of course, with the result. At the end of day, it's about the result and I'm very pleased with it. I think they played very good. They also played, against Galatasaray, very good. Against Everton - very good. So you see the progress in this team and we go in the right direction."

He added on the performance: "When you're communicating with each other, with good organisation, you set the conditions to play well. On the ball, we were very dominant, dictating and creating a lot of chances, scoring very good goals.

The way they started, in the press, and it's difficult to keep that for the whole game, but, yeah, we still have steps to make. We had a drop off in the second part of the first half but picked it up again in the second half.

Especially against Chelsea, a very good team, who are very good in possession. When you don't have the pressing right, don't communicate with each other, don't have good organization, you get killed by them. But we did very good. We had a lot of turnovers and counter moments from that."
