Van Nistelrooy: “We weren’t good in the first half – Onana kept us in Tisundali’s phase, it was like a penalty”

PAOK did not manage to obtain a positive result at “Old Trafford”, knowing the defeat with a score of 2-0 against Manchester United for the 4th matchday of the League Phase of the Europa League.

After the end of the match, the official technician of the home team, Ruud Van Nistelrooysaid that his team was not good in the first half, congratulated his players, while also commenting on Onana’s intervention in the phase with Tisundali.

Finally, he mentioned the next day of United, which will be with Ruben Amorim in the technical leadership.

Manchester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy said:

“The first half was not good, that’s clear. PAOK did not create much, but our positions were not correct. We were looking to find Casemiro to create more chances. I believe that every game is important for our team. We had to start getting results and we did. It is important to build on the results with Chelsea and PAOK.

The players did very well and I congratulate them. We left a lot of positions in the first half and we had to cover them. We had to stay in these positions. The second goal we scored is personal to Diallo. He won the ball from the opposition and had the quality to go forward and score. In the second half, in general, we did very well.”

For the next day: “I have to prepare the team for Leicester, Amorim has to prepare his own team with Braga. I will do everything possible to get the best result on Sunday against Leicester.”
