Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is hardly box office in his press conferences. Ten Hag is straight talking, concise and isn't the most charismatic figure, but that didn't stop him from being overwhelmed with emotion on the touchline on Monday night.
Ten Hag was pictured passionately fist-pumping and visibly excitable when Marcus Rashford scored his side's second goal of the game against Liverpool. The victory was a monumental result for Ten Hag and his brilliant celebration on the touchline showed he was aware of its importance. The atmosphere at Old Trafford was special and it felt like Ten Hag's premiership had finally taken off.
The Dutchman had been given a baptism of fire in the Premier League with humiliating defeats against Brighton and Brentford, but Monday night's performance against Liverpool was the perfect response. It was a splendid display that deserved to be lauded.
