“Today we need goals, we have to win, we want to be number one in the pool.”

On handing the first start to teenage forward Alejandro Garnacho, Ten Hag added: “He is reliable but also has a bit of the X-factor. He can outplay defenders and run behind.

“I have a front three which is creative. We have a dynamic team today.
