He also dropped an F-bomb as he acknowledged Man United 'f**ked up' against Sevilla.
On the victory at the City Ground, he told talkSPORT: "I think it was a very solid performance. From start to finish, everyone really concentrated, we conceded no chances except some from set pieces.

"There were no transition moments, we didn’t allow them anything and we created a lot.
"We scored two great goals - the only thing if I wanted to criticise my team would be to score more goals because we created so much."
Ten Hag added: "How do you win the game? Focus on the process of this game to win the game and I think everybody knows how important mentally it is to get a win today. When you get the points today they’re much more valuable than at the start of the season.
"This weekend was a good weekend, but you have to stay focused and bring it every game because there are no easy games in the Premier League."
The Dutch boss continued by turning his attention to their European showdown as he made a frank admission, which Man United fans loved.
