The new Manchester United manager got off to a great start with a four goal victory over the Reds in Thailand.
After the friendly win, the Dutch said he was satisfied but warned against overestimating the result against their rivals.
The game came too early in his pre-season plans and he didn't like the idea of analyzing the performances of his summer signings.
We learned a lot from Monday's game.
It has been a rough few months for United, but they are not out of the woods yet.
This result is priceless because they need some positives to cling to during the bedding-in period. There were a lot of mistakes.
He will acknowledge that David de Gea kept them out of the net at least three times. The result is there.
"We have a lot of creativity and speed up front, so we have potential," said Ten Hag, who praised his team's "spirit".
United is going to Australia for three games and it's a good start.
Fred's place in the team can't be taken for granted with Ten Hag making a priority position to strengthen this summer with the pursuit of Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong.
His continued presence in the Brazil squad belies the negative vibes surrounding him and he was praised by both his former manager and interim boss.
His goals output has been bad since he joined. The club's goal of the season was posted on social media by a fan. His 20-yard chip was great for the first pre-season game.
Anthony Martial joined United for over forty million dollars in 2015. He has shown immense talent but he has also shown mediocre and uninspired.
He showed Ten Hag what he could do with a burst downfield and a delightful chip finish. It looks like Martial will start the season with United after a failed loan to Sevilla. He's in the saloon now. Ten Hag isn't someone who will put up with Martial.
The major summer signing had blisters on his feet, which made it difficult for him to move.
His lungs were ready to explode after his third sprint, according to theLiverpool boss. It was quite amusing and gave you an indication of the work in front of the Uruguayan before he can really be a part of the team.
When asked about his attributes, he was categorical. "A number nine with speed and aggression, that's what I'm going to use when the league starts next month," said the manager.
The teenager has a lot to learn but he was lively and went close with a great shot that hit the inside of a post.
There is a lot of confidence and bravery in Carvalho. He was not afraid of taking responsibility.
He was prepared to run an opponent from a deeper position just behind the front three. A big future is what the £5m man has in store.
