Man Utd boss Ten Hag in tense exchange with Dutch interviewer

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag had a testy exchange with Viaplay's Koen Weijland during their interview last week.

The atmosphere changed when Weijland wanted to know what Ten Hag meant by "the most attractive and dynamic team in England", as Ten Hag recently called his team.

"If you did your research, you would have seen that we are very dynamic when it comes to our data in an offensive sense," said Ten Hag. "We bring in a lot of speed and movement."

"But what do you mean by dynamic?" Weijland wanted to know.

If you did your job, you would see that we are the most vertical team in the Premier League when it comes to sprints and movement," said Ten Hag.

Weijland finds 'attractive' something subjective, he indicated.

"That has nothing to do with research," he emphasised.

"But if you see the match against Chelsea or Liverpool, is that attractive?" says Ten Hag.

"Certainly, there are some fantastic matches," said Weijland.

"Thank you. Then we agree," Ten Hag replied. "We have approached our matches in an attacking manner, especially for the neutral spectator."

Ten Hag claimed to have always done that since he joined United.

"We create a lot of chances, as we did against Burnley (1-1), but we also concede too many. It's open and fun to watch."
