Baut Behorst scored his first goal at Old Trafford on Thursday night in the Europa League Round of 16 first leg against Real Betis.
Ten Hag said Behorst would score more goals in the future. He was praised for his steadiness and attitude.
“Behorst finds his position very well. He keeps going even if he doesn’t score.”
“He shows great personality and attitude. Not only in the game, but off the field as well.”
“I have already done my part in the game. He not only scored, but was consistently focused and played consistently. He ran to find the right position. I have already proved it by scoring.”
“Behorst has a brain for the position. He is very active”
“I give an order to help link play. However, he will step out as a forward striker. A cross is very threatening. And defensively it’s so good.”
Manager Ten Haag said that if Martial had been active, Behorst’s chances of playing would have been affected. But he didn’t forget the compliment. He was praised for his stamina and ability to recover.
“If you ask me why I start every time, it is because of the available resources. I am physically ready to play many games. He is a well-prepared player who recovers well.”
“As Martial is injured, he will play more games. He is the reason he plays every game.”
“I was substituted for Barcelona but played full-time in other matches. He played well as a striker and played the number 10 role well in midfield.”
