Ten Hag remains optimistic about Manchester United's progress despite Porto draw

The Red Devils salvaged a 3-3 draw against FC Porto in the Europa League, but it marked coach Erik ten Hag's disappointment as he set an unwanted record.

Manchester United's defensive woes so far this season were exposed yet again.AdvertisementAdvertisement

This game was the 31st time since the beginning of last season that United have conceded two or more goals.

Post-game, Ten Hag told TNT Sports: "So we had three clean sheets not so long ago, so we can defend well, but we have to go back to those habits and then we can win games."

"We will get there, don't judge us in this moment, just us at the end of the season," he added. 

"We are in a process and we will improve. We had two seasons in finals, just wait, we will develop this team. 

“We will continue to work, we will fight, you see the spirit and the connection with the staff and the team."
