According to Tasnim news agency, Eric Tannah Hach expressed his satisfaction with their performance, especially the team’s scorers, after the 3-1 victory of his men tonight (Sunday) at home against Arsenal in the sixth week of the English Premier League. New Man United signing Anthony, signed from Ajax in a £84m deal on transfer deadline day, scored on his first game for the club to show why Tenhach insisted on working with him again.
Tenhach said about 21-year-old Anthony after the game: “I think now everyone has seen what kind of player Anthony is.” His speed, creativity and dangerous attacks towards the opponent’s goal are extraordinary. We were short a player for the right-wing position because other players who can play there, like Sancho or Marcus Rashford, prefer to be in the center or on the left. With the arrival of Anthony, we now have a player who can cover the right side of our midfield. He was the missing link of the team. I have known Anthony since I coached him at Ajax and I knew he had the potential to make an impact for our team, even though the Premier League is different to the Dutch league. After this, he will threaten our rivals even more than this goal, although I must say about his goal today that he scored it perfectly.
The undisputed star of Manchester United was Marcus Rashford, who not only assisted his team’s first goal, but also scored the next two goals of this team. Ten Hach said about the good partnership formed between Rashford and Anthony: “Both of them were fantastic and constantly created danger.” I know our team’s offensive line is very strong. The players we have in this line are all creative and fast. This was the first time that Anthony and Rashford played together and after this we will see better performances from them.
In the end, the Dutch head coach of the Red Devils noted: We are happy and satisfied with this victory, especially that we won against a very good team that played beautifully. With the spirit of this team, we can make up for the two defeats at the beginning of the season. These consecutive victories show the high mental strength of our players. The same mental strength caused us to win the field today despite Arsenal’s more consistent play.
