Marcus Rashford doubled the lead in the second half of the game following his solo run from the midfield.
Despite their 2-0 win against the Championship side Ten Hag insists is side were not good enough on the ball and believes there is room for improvement.
“[We played] against a good team. I think they were good on the ball”, Ten Hag said after the game.
“It’s a difficult to get the press on [them] but I think we did. We had a lot of high regains, we had a lot of transitional moments. I think we need to take a little bit [from] that. There is definitely room for improvement, we have to work on that, but of course I am pleased with a win.
“They are quite hungry [the United squad]. It was a good team goal, but it was good to see the way we finished [the move] with Bruno [Fernandes] and then, on the far side, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Christian Eriksen for the goal. Yeah [it was] a really great goal.
“I think after a break it’s always difficult to find the rhythm but I think we did quite well. Also, some different players came on and I think they played quite well. I had a routine [and it wasn’t] 100 per cent, but you see that the principles are there and I am quite happy with the game we played.”
