EPL: Newcastle boss Howe praises Ten Hag for turning Man Utd around

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has earned praise from his Newcastle United counterpart.

Magpies coach Eddie Howe has spoken glowingly of ten Hag this week.

The two coaches are set to go head to head on Sunday in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.

“Yeah, we’re playing a team very much in form,” Howe said at his press conference.

“They’ve got some very good players and their manager has done a brilliant job building momentum and turning the team around from a difficult place.

“We know that we’re going to have to be at our very best and we’ll have to embrace the occasion and hit our top levels to win. I always believe in being positive and optimistic, as much as I’m very driven every day, I always have to see warning signs.

“I still always have a very positive outlook embracing all of that, so I believe we can win any game in the Premier League against any team, home or away, if we’re at our best and I think we’ve proved that this season.

“We’ve beat some very good teams and have been very consistent with our form. We believe the power is in our hands and it’s down to us to perform to those levels.”
