Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag stated that he has no interest in Pep Guardiola’s tactical plan ahead of the Manchester derby on Saturday. This comes after the Man City boss suggested that he has a “ridiculous” idea for how his team can defeat Man Utd at Old Trafford.
“I don’t care about that, what he is thinking,” ten Hag confirmed during a news conference on Friday. “He did it more often and we are prepared for that if he does different things. We have our principles, our rules of football.
Ten Hag added that while he acknowledged Guardiola’s team as one of the strongest, he believes that his players are good enough to overcome the challenge that Man City poses.
Earlier in the week, the Red Devils completed the signing of Burnley striker Wout Weghorst on loan, who ended his loan deal with Besiktas in favor of a move to Manchester. The 30-year-old player will not be among Man Utd’s matchday squad, however, as the club was unable to register him in time.
Ten Hag has hinted that more signings may follow before the January transfer window deadline.
