Manchester United’s Sunday afternoon clash with Aston Villa was brought to a halt after the referee’s communication device stopped working mid-game.
Jamie Carragher went on a fiery rant during Aston Villa’s goalless draw with Manchester United after the game was halted for a period of time during the second half.
While United are still searching for their first win since mid-September, Ten Hag drew on the positives after the Red Devils’ stalemate at Villa Park.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the Dutchman responded: “I think it’s the fourth clean sheet this season. You see we had a very good organisation and togetherness. There was good character and good spirit as a team. Determined, resilient.
“We almost didn’t concede a chance, when you defend like this and get some luck, in the end they had a big chance but it was almost the only chance I think.”
He continued: “We created some chances, also not so many chances. We hit the crossbar and also Rashford had chances. But the two teams were really balanced.
“In Porto our build-up was brilliant, so good in the first 25 minutes, we out-played Porto. Also Palace, in possession we were so good, we have had games this season where we are good. But today we didn’t create too many chances, but also we played a great team.
“We create loads of chances in our seven games but we have to step up. We have to take into consideration Hojlund is returning, he’s still coming up to full fitness. But others are stepping up. I was impressed from Rashford, also Garnacho is so good, and Antony at the end.”
