Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag felt they came close to their ideal style of play for victory against Aston Villa this week.
United go to Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
"We have to win every game. And I think sometimes we have been pragmatic," he said.
But, for instance against Villa, you see our style, you see our identity, how we can play, how quick we can play, and also how we can build up from the back.
I think the whole frontline played very good, and invested in lots of runs behind, and the timings were so good, and I think it was continually a threat for the opponent," Ten Hag said after the game.
