Ten years ago he took over Bayern II in the regional league, narrowly missing out on promotion to the 3rd division. Now Erik ten Hag (53) teases against the Bundesliga.
The Manchester United manager interviewed by “ ESPN“: “The Bundesliga is the perfect preparation for the Premier League. It (the Premier League, ed.) is tougher.”
The Bundesliga as a “training league” for the “big” Premier League?

The Dutchman refers to Jadon Sancho (23) in his statements. The Englishman played for Borussia Dortmund from 2017 to 2021 before moving to Manchester United for €85m. While he scored 38 goals and provided 51 assists in 104 Bundesliga games in Germany, he has yet to shine in England. The record so far: 55 games in the Premier League, nine goals and six assists.
Ten Hag: “I saw a lot of games in Dortmund. Sancho wasn’t such a different player in Dortmund. But he has to be more consistent in his performances and at a higher level.”
Is the Premier League much better than the Bundesliga? One thing is clear: the title race is no longer that exciting in England either. Manchester City have won the championship five times in the last six years.

But: In the past ten years at least one English team has reached the Champions League final five times. Bayern 2020 is the last time a German team has made it. Similarly in the Europa League. Four different English teams have made it to the final here in the last ten years, with only one German team in Frankfurt 2022.
In addition, the Premier League has players with a total market value of over ten billion euros (source: transfermarkt.de), the Bundesliga is currently just over four billion. Of the ten most valuable players, three are in the Premier League: Erling Haaland (Manchester City), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) and Phil Foden (Manchester City). Bayern’s Jamals Musiala is currently the only one in the top 10 to play in the Bundesliga.

Just like Sancho once did. After moving to Manchester United, the ex-BVB star took a break last winter. Reason: mental problems. Ten Hag now: “At the moment he is in very good shape. He decides how to do it. He has a lot of energy – we all saw that from the moment he came back. He wants to enjoy football and be successful.”
