Erik ten Hag knows Manchester United “have a way to go” in their development but dismissed former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher’s claim that the team have gone backwards this season jili
All eyes will be on Old Trafford this Sunday afternoon as the Red Devils look for a statement victory in the derby against treble winners Manchester City jili
United head into the match after toiling to a third straight victory in all competitions, with Andre Onana’s last-gasp spot-kick save sealing a 1-0 win against Copenhagen in the Champions League jili
It was another narrow escape for Ten Hag’s so far underwhelming side, who need to be far jili better if they are to stand any chance of winning the 191st Manchester derby jili
“We are in the right direction, and we have a way to go,” the United manager said jili
“I see positives, I see also negatives jili
We are not consistently, in possession, on the level where we can be, where we show in games we can be jili
“Like for instance, Arsenal away jili
Also, the first 30 minutes in Bayern Munich away jili
But we should do this on a consistent basis jili
“But pressing, we are quite good jili
We have the most ball regains from the whole Premier League, we have the most middle regains from the whole Premier League jili
“So, there you see, our defensive organisation, our pressing organisation jili
I said before the season how we wanted to play, that is us jili
“But then, we don’t take the benefit in the attacking transition moments, and we should be because we have the abilities in our team, the players there who can take benefit from it jili
“We paid some attention to it, and this has to grow, this has to progress jili
Then games will become easier jili
”United have had a few factors to contend with this term, from injuries and off-field issues to tough fixtures and underperforming stars jili
The afterglow of a promising first season under Ten Hag has certainly dimmed, with the side dropping off markedly after February’s Carabao Cup final triumph against Newcastle jili
Liverpool favourite Carragher this week said United “resemble a team reaching the end of a cycle, not one still rebuilding under a relatively new manager” jili
The former defender also said in his Telegraph column that “the jili football is stale and the symptoms of regression are visible” – comments that were put to Ten Hag ahead of the derby jili
“I said in possession we have to do jili better,” the Dutchman said jili
“But there are reasons I don’t go into, but I think everyone is seeing why jili
“But there are also facts, so I disagree jili
We are much jili better jili
“And even we are top Premier League in high ball regains, we are top Premier League in middle ball regains jili
“Our pressing is always very good, so that is not the truth what he is telling jili
”United are certainly far from their best right now, with the stuttering performances coming under the continued cloud of questions over the ownership jili
Sheikh Jassim recently withdrew from the interminable potential takeover process due to the Glazer family’s demands, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos now looking set to take a stake and sporting control jili
Asked if United’s players are thinking about the impact on them of potential changes above, Ten Hag said: “I don’t think so jili
“Of course, they are committed to the club but especially they are committed to this team jili
“They want to be successful and are aware you need the team, your team-mates, you need cooperation jili
“You want to play with the best players you have in this team and when the cooperation is growing, we will play jili better and that is in their benefit jili
“I think that is how the players are thinking and they are not thinking about strategic reviews or structures or whatever jili

As often was the case amid an American society embedded in racism in the 1980s, Muhammed Ali put it best jili
Advising black racing driver Willy T Ribbs, the people’s champion made his point in no uncertain terms: “There are Blacks in my sport jili
But there are no Blacks in your sport jili
“They’re going to want to kill you jili
”Yet for all the death threats, discrimination and abuse, Ribbs had long decided that the only option was to meet the uphill battle head-on jili
He made history in 1986 when he became the first Black driver to test an F1 car jili
Five years later, he was the first to race in the Indy 500, one of the world’s most famous events jili
But on the course of that journey, Ribbs faced it all jili
Don’t let me tell you though; let the man himself jili
“Of course, there were death threats, the n-word,” he reflects, in a slow but deadpan fashion that tells you the wounds have long since healed jili
Instead, the metaphorical bruises are worn with pride jili
“But I enjoyed it jili
It didn’t make me mad, it was fun jili
I was going to dish out what they were dishing out to me, it never scared or intimidated me jili
I actually enjoyed it because it was motivating jili
I was never going to play the victim, that was not Willy T Ribbs jili
”Now 68, Ribbs is an ambassador for Formula One, raising awareness for diversity and equality jili
A role given a matter of months after his riveting biopic movie, Uppity, was released in 2020 jili
So titled because that was his nickname in motorsport circles – “and he loved it” jili
But to this interview, he’s late jili
And he apologises, quipping: “Race drivers are never late, you know! Or they’re not supposed to be…”Son to William “Bunny” Ribbs, an amateur racer himself, Willy’s career path was set in stone from day dot it seems jili
It was the racing way or the highway jili
Ribbs faced an avalanche of racism and abuse throughout his career (Getty)“I was born in this sport,” he tells The Independent, from his home in Texas jili
“I watched it from three years old when my dad was racing, watching the likes of Jim Clark and Graham Hill jili
That’s all that was discussed in the family jili
We didn’t discuss any other sport jili
“I was lucky, I think jili
At nine years old, I knew what I wanted to do and I knew what my career path was going to be jili
Most kids that age don’t know what the hell they’re going to do, but I did jili
And I didn’t want to be an amateur at it – I wanted it to be a profession and I wanted it to be Formula One jili
”He learned his craft, in the UK, racing alongside future F1 world champion Nigel Mansell in Formula Ford in the mid-1970s jili
He raced in Nascar and the Trans-Am Series, later on, too jili
But his F1 calling, in ’86, came in the Portuguese town of Estoril jili
Bernie Ecclestone’s Brabham team – “Bernie has always been good to Willy T Ribbs” – gave the American the chance to buck the trend and become a true trailblazer jili
But the tag was not something he felt comfortable with at the time jili
Ribbs made history in an F1 test in 1986 and in the Indy 500 in 1991 (Getty)“All that mattered was I thought of myself as a race driver,” he says jili
“I had two responsibilities: to myself and to my team jili
For those who record social history, that’s their job [to say trailblazer] – but I’m not going to carry that weight on my shoulders jili
“Sure jili
I was a role model because I was doing something no other Black kid had done jili
And great, if that’s the category they want to put me in and how they want to document it jili
But for me? It was about going fast jili
”It was a mindset of not bowing to the status quo, embodied most especially in the late 20th century by Ali jili
“What I admired about him the most was not his jili boxing skills,” Ribbs says of Ali jili
“What I admired about him was his resolve as a man, not to be squashed, manipulated or controlled jili
Ali said: ‘You have to let them know that you can’t be killed, there’s nothing they can do to you, and then they’ll leave you alone for a while jili
’”Now in motor racing, the baton has been passed on to seven-time Formula One world champion and the sport’s only Black driver Lewis Hamilton, whom Ribbs is full of praise about jili
“Lewis Hamilton, after seven world titles and more victories than any other human being, gets unfairly targeted,” insists Ribbs jili
“If you can equate it to Tiger Woods, what did Tiger Woods do for golf? He broadened the audience jili
The attention went off the chart jili
That’s exactly what happened in F1 – Lewis Hamilton has been Formula One’s Tiger Woods jili
“He’s a very kind man jili
He’ll let it roll off, turn the other cheek – I wasn’t that way jili
He deals with it and in a lot of cases it’s unfair jili
Then again, he is in an environment which was not nearly as brutal as I was dealing with jili
Willy T Ribbs was treated differently jili
”The third-person references point to a man who is now comfortable in his own skin; in the significance of the struggle – and what it means to many around the world jili
And despite a sport notoriously still dominated by white men, progress is being made jili
“One thing I love about Formula One is not only is it evolving commercially around the world, it’s evolving socially,” he says jili
“When F1 hired me, I asked them: ‘What made you make this call?’“They said: ‘We watched your film and we thought you’d be the perfect person for inclusion and equality in Formula One jili
’“I said: ‘Well, you called the right guy’ jili
