Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag took aim at Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies before the two teams met in Europe, but the Canada international has hit back
Alphonso Davies backed his own defensive abilities after being targeted by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag before Bayern Munich's match against the English side.
"Tactically, it works out very well for us because they have Davies who is very offensive, a lot of speed, and he can match that," Ten Hag told TNT Sports before the meeting, suggesting young winger Facundo Pellistri could thrive against the Bayern man. " can match that offensively and defensively... Davies is not a great defender so, I think it will be a good game for him."
Davies was asked about Ten Hag's comments on Sunday as Bayern faced Freiburg in the Bundesliga. Thomas Tuchel's side won that game 3-0, but still sit two places and two points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. United followed their defeat to Bayern with another questionable defensive display in their second Champions League group game. Galatasaray came to Old Trafford and won 3-2, with Casemiro sent off for the English side
