Ten Hag points out where Manchester United must improve against Sevilla
Erik ten Hag has urged Manchester United to be better when attacking ahead of their Europa League match against Sevilla on Thursday.
United are in Spain for the return leg after the initial meeting ended in a 2-2 draw. United not only threw away the lead, but they ended up suffering serious injuries at Old Trafford.
While addressing the media ahead of the match, Ten Hag pointed out how they can deal with the LaLiga side.
"Our organization all over the pitch is quite good. We need to do better at attacking. I am confident that we can score goals tomorrow," Ten Hag said.
The former Ajax manager also praised David de Gea and Marcel Sabitzer.

"Stopping goals is the main job for a goalkeeper," he added. "Everyone has their own particular style.
"Nowadays, in possession, it has become more and more important at the top levels. But at the end of the day, it is about stopping goals; shots; crosses; one-on-ones. I think David is a complete goalkeeper.
"Marcel has done unbelievable things while I have been away. Everyone has done their job. The fewest sessions I have had have been with Marcel; he only arrived after I was injured."
Meanwhile, Tyrell Malacia, Marcus Rashford, Sabitzer, and Luke Shaw were named to the travelling squad after returning to training.
Bruno Fernandes did not travel with the squad to face the six-time Europa League winners as he is suspended following a yellow card in the first leg.
