Willy Kambwala was one of Man United best players in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Asked how he felt about young center-back Erik ten Hag playing, he said He trained with us. Over time there has been good progress.
The next generation has to step in and he is doing well. The challenge for him is to do it consistently. Great opportunity for him and we had other options like bringing Casemiro in the middle of the half but today he deserved it and he showed it on the pitch.
Kambwala was forced into United defense due to injuries to Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans ahead of the game. Although it was only his second senior start for the Red Devils the Frenchman was strong in the back and kept Dawin Nunez quiet.
The young defender also seems to share a good relationship with Harry Maguire and is likely to continue to get more chances due to the lack of central defender options at Man United.
