‘You can’t ban emotions’: Manchester United prepare for poignant match

Ten Hag wanted to stress the importance of channelling the emotional energy. “We are professionals and it is our job but you can’t ban emotions,” he said. “You need to use them in the right way.” And with that, he nodded at Diogo Dalot, the full-back seated beside him, whose 77th-minute top-corner cracker had won Saturday night’s Premier League game at Sheffield United.

Over to Dalot, whose goal was his fourth since joining United in 2018 – and by some way the most important. “It’s a big privilege when you combine Sir Bobby’s goals and they relate to a goal of your own, it’s a privilege to hear that,” he said.
