He said: \u201cYou have to stay calm in your head and don\u2019t get too emotional. Control your emotion, don\u2019t give them anything &#8211; the referee as well, don\u2019t give them a moment they can take &#8211; so you have to stay away from such moments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hojlund and Antony both missed Sunday\u2019s 3-0 win over Everton but have trained and are in contention to return. \u201cThey are in the squad,\u201d Ten Hag confirmed. However, United will be without a host of injured players, including Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez and Jonny Evans. <\/p>\n<h3>Recommended<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/11\/07\/15\/GettyImages-1756667308.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/11\/28\/10\/a67bd8731f563972b4cad89a5ae7041aY29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzAxMjUxNTk4-2.74008904.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/11\/25\/14\/ten%20hag%20everton%20jw.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag said he had no fears about picking the 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo for such a high-pressure game after the midfielder excelled on his Premier League debut at Goodison Park. \u201cWe don\u2019t have that,\u201d he said. \u201cIf players are good enough, they are old enough.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag believes United are a better team than they were when they lost to the Turkish champions in September. <\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cIt will probably will be the same for Galatasaray but I think we have improved. It is good progress, you see we are stepping up. We are more stable and winning games so definitely there is progress from the first game.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>United have lost their last three games in Turkey and have never won or scored in three away matches against Galatasaray. They exited the Champions League in 1993 with a 0-0 draw at the Ali Sami Yen Stadium but Ten Hag was unworried by their poor record. <\/p>\n<p> He said: \u201cWe have to make our game. We have to make our own history.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/sport\/football\/manchester-united-erik-ten-hag-champions-league-b2454821.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erik ten Hag\u2019s side need a win in Turkey (Martin Rickett\/PA) Sign up to Miguel Delaney\u2019s Reading the Game newsletter sent straight to your inbox for free Sign up to Miguel\u2019s Delaney\u2019s free weekly newsletter Thanks for signing up to the Football email Erik ten Hag has urged Manchester United to keep their heads in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297793,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
