‘It is vital’: Manchester United told importance of top-four finish after Brighton blow

Ten Hag said he is not concerned by the loss to Brighton, highlighting United’s return of 13 points from their previous five league matches and conscious that they do not need to rely on results from any other clubs.

He added: “We had a quite good run, four wins and a draw from the last five. We have everything in our hands.”

Ten Hag said Antony had to control his passion after the winger risked a red card against Albion with a hack at the eventual match-winner Alexis Mac Allister.

The Dutchman said the £86m signing has to keep his drive, but to make sure it does not spill over.

“His passion is a strength,” he explained. “Of course until a certain level you have to control it. You need passion and desire to win your games and win battles in the game. It is very strong with him and he is very ambitious. Don’t go over the top, stay focused on your game and what the game needs and if he does that, he is a great player.”
