Ten Hag on 'perfect night' and Rashford's double

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, speaking after United's 7-0 win over League One club Barnsley in the Carabao Cup third round:

"For the team, it's the perfect night. I think we [did] everything that we planned to do. How we won, [into the] next round, scored some great goals, entertained the fans... we are happy.

"I was not devastated after [the 3-0 Premier League loss to] Liverpool. I am not now celebrating.

"We are on a journey and we will see where we are in May because then we have to be good, and then you have to be at your best. In the meantime, every time progress the team."

On two goals for Marcus Rashford, having ended a long spell without scoring last weekend: "Confidence is a big part of it. It's not everything, there are also other parts, but confidence is a big part.

"I think Rashford is a big guy. He's scored so many goals and is one in the list of [current] United goalscorers.

"But you are as good as your last game and every time you have to prove it.

"But I have even seen the biggest guys, the biggest football players, when they are not performing and when strikers are not scoring, then they drop in confidence. It doesn't matter who it is."
