As Manchester United defeated West Ham 3-1 to go to the FA Cup quarterfinals, manager Erik ten Hag praised “dominating” defenders Harry Maguire and Wout Weghorst.
At the break, Said Benrahma’s goal gave United the lead.
However, a late own goal by Nayef Aguerd and goals by Alejandro Garnacho and Fred secured a victory.
In the subsequent round, Fulham will now play the Red Devils.
Ten Hag praised Maguire’s performance after the English defender returned to the starting lineup following a three-game absence.
“He was dominating the defense, but in offence, he had some very excellent moments, good passes, and was engaging and outplaying opponents,” the Dutchman stated after the game. He executed his play well.
Weghorst, a Dutch striker who contributed to all three of the goals, was also referred to by Ten Hag as “one of the greatest players on the pitch” in his assessment.
