New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag opens up about his new club’s prospects for the coming season during a media appointment at his new club.
He once again contradicts his predecessor, the neo-ÖFB coach Ralf Rangnick.
On his Manchester United debut last season, Rangnick announced the side would need some time to play for the Premier League title again.
The level of Liverpool and Manchester City can only be reached in two to three years. According to Rangnick, a good transfer policy should play a particularly important role in the endeavor to win the first championship title since 2013.
When asked by journalists about this statement by his predecessor, ten Hag showed a lack of understanding.
“Will not make such a statement”
“I will not make such a statement,” said the Dutchman. In this regard, the United boss stressed that he wants to focus on the players who are currently in the squad and get the best out of them.
Although the long-time Ajax coach doesn’t want to talk about any imminent title successes with United, his goal is to want to win every game. An attitude that, according to him, belongs to Manchester United.
Manchester United ended last season in sixth place and failed to qualify for the Champions League.
With Jesse Lingard, Edinson Cavani, Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic, some of the main players of the past Premier League season said goodbye to the Red Devils this summer. In addition, there is still a departure from Cristiano Ronaldo in the room.
With Lisandro Martínez and Christian Eriksen, two well-known newcomers have already been presented in Manchester.
