His mentality is great.

As you know, in my philosophy we have to attack with 11. [players].<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to improve movement, decision-making with the ball and sometimes also be more clinical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag still faces injuries and illness as seventh-placed United look to climb the table.<\/p>\n<p>We have a few doubts, a few illnesses during the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/week\/\"   title=\"week\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">week<\/a>, so we have to see who is available for tomorrow.
