'When old soldiers die' - Erik ten Hag looks forward to Manchester United future after Willy Kambwala performance
08.04.2024 - 03:29 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erik ten Hag believes the future is bright for Manchester United after praising the performance of 19-year-old centre-back Willy Kambwala in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool.
The 19-year-old was making just his second start for the club but he stood up strongly against Liverpool's attacking threat and relished his battles with Darwin Nunez, in particular, at one point raising his arms to the Stretford End after a superb recovery tackle on the Uruguayan.
Kambwala was forced into action after Jonny Evans joined Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof on the treatment table and Ten Hag doesn't expect a change in the availability of his central defenders this week. He had considered moving Casemiro into central defence but opted to trust the youngster instead.

And he was delighted with the impact made by the Frenchman, who was one of three teenagers to start against Liverpool, with another three on the bench, which gives Ten Hag encouragement for the future.
"When old soldiers die, new ones have to come in," he said. "Willy for a long time is training with us, he started at West Ham and did very good, his progress is amazing, we didn’t have any doubts.
"We could have pushed Casemiro down and brought another midfielder in but we were convinced he could do the job, it’s another signal and message for the future of Manchester United. This team and squad has high potential.
"We get more players available, especially in the backline, 27 different organisations during the season, the future will be very good."
