Erik Ten Hag's press conference before the Aston Villa match

United's Christmas program began completely in black with a loss away to West Ham, but on Tuesday evening at 21.00 Scandinavian time, there is a new opportunity – at home to Aston Villa.

Late on Monday evening, Erik Ten Hag's press conference was released, which took place immediately after the loss to West Ham, and then it was talk about Anthony Martial, the importance of the first result and the possibility of some players returning against Villa.

Anthony Martial is still out of hospital due to illness. As for his contract, we will let you know when we have news, but our goal is not to sell him in January, Ten Hag started.

Martial has featured in 13 of the 18 league matches, and 19 in total this season.

Ten Hag realizes that United fans are now unhappy with the situation.

– I'm sure they are disappointed in us, yes, and we have to put things right. We must do better.

-However, we really appreciate the way they support us, even in adversity. They have supported us all this season. Then we also need help to move forward, but we also realize that we are the ones on the field who have to deliver. The players and I have to take responsibility.

However, he is not happy with the players' attitudes.

– No, but of course we know what the standards are at United, and we have to win as a team. All individual players must contribute 100 percent. It's a requirement.

The first result also means a lot.

-And we have to realize that. When you control a game like we did against West Ham, you have to score. Villa is a different team, a very good team, but if we create chances, we also have to take care of them. If you don't, you simply won't be able to win matches. That's for sure.

He hopes Raphael Varane will return against Aston Villa and Amad Diallo may be available. Diogo Dalot also returns after his suspension.

– We hope that Varane will return, and then we have to look at Amad Diallo. Ten Hag said he has been training for two weeks.

Kick-off against Aston Villa is 21:00 Scandinavian time on Tuesday.
