The fixtures are coming thick and fast for United as they compete for a quadruple.
And Ten Hag has admitted he relishes weeks like this, saying: “Yes. Everyone wants to have this experience, to play many games.
“Players prefer to play games to training, so they like it every time again.
“But, of course, there are demands and demands to get ready for every game and it costs a lot of energy, but it’s what we are paid for.
“This is our job, we will do that and, first of all, when we start to play football, you want to play big games and we are in the position to play big games. That must give energy.”

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers, meanwhile, is glad he won’t have to face the suspended Casemiro.
“I look at Manchester United and see the introduction of new players, if you think of (Christian) Eriksen, (Lisandro) Martinez, really outstanding players,” he said. “In Casemiro, they have a real world-class player. He’s that comforting player for them.
“He’s got the experience, he’s got the quality, he’s got everything, he’s always calm, how he plays is at a high level. Thankfully for us, he’s not playing, he’s suspended. He’s given them a real stabilising effect.
“Erik (ten Hag) and his coaching team, they’ve given them good organisation. Then they have a collective group of outstanding players.
“They have done very well and are up there competing and played a good game last night [against Barcelona].
“I think their record at home shows they’re a difficult team to play against.”
