Erik ten Hags full focus is on maintaining Manchester Uniteds impre sive form on the field Isaiah Rodgers Jersey , with the Dutchman unable to comment on Mason Greenwoods future at the club.United forward Greenwood had all charges against him dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) on Thursday following the withdrawal of key witne ses.Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 and due to stand trial in November on accusations of attempted rape, a sault and controlling and coercive behaviour.The 21-year-old said in a widely released statement that he was relieved the matter is over, while United said the club will conduct its own proce s before commenting further.Ten Hag faced the media on Friday ahead of Uniteds Premier League meeting with Crystal Palace and Marvin Harrison Jersey was asked whether he had any comments to make on Greenwood.Nothing. I cant add anything. I refer to the statement of the club, Ten Hag said.Asked if he will be part of the proce s Stephon Gilmore Jersey that decides Greenwoods Old Trafford future, Ten Hag said: In this moment, I cant give comment about the proce s.The former Ajax bo s was then questioned on whether he has ever personally met Greenwood, who has been suspended by United since his arrest a little over 12 months ago.I cant say anything about it. Tyquan Lewis Jersey I refer to the statement of the club and at this moment I cant add anything. Ten Hag was more willing to discu s next opponents Palace, who held United to a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park prior to the Red Devils 3-2 lo s at Arsenal last time out in the league.We have always to focus on the game, no matter what, it is our job, he told reporters. Two weeks ago we had a bad Mike Strachan Jersey performance against them.I wasnt happy with the performance from us. We only had 90 per cent focus and energy and we dropped two points. On Saturday we need a better game, better focus in the game, better conduct in the way of play because we have to beat them thats quite clear.United have won just one of their last five league meetings with Palace and are winle s in the past two not since October 1970 have they gone three in a row without Brandon Kemp Jersey a victory in this fixture in the top flight.However, United have won their past five Premier League home games, which is their best streak since a run of eight between May and December 2017.Ten Hags side have won three succe sive cup games since their most recent league match and bolstered their squad with Brandon Facyson Jersey the loan signing of Marcel Sabitzer this week after Christian Eriksen was ruled out for three months.The Bayern Munich midfielder has only trained Bobby Okereke Jersey once with his new club, but Ten Hag is ready to use him against Palace on Saturday.You can see hes a very fit player. I didnt expect anything else coming from Bayern Munich, he said. I think he is ready to play.I think hes a really smart player and I think we gave him some guidance, but he knows what to do, he knows the job. |
