Erik ten Hag says Manchester United have progressed under his management
Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Liverpool, the manager was asked about improvements to the team, having finished a miserable eighth in the Premier League last season.
“Listen, behind City we have won the most trophies over the last two years – so we performed better than anyone else. Those are the facts. This year we want to win trophies – and I am quite confident we will build up to this.
“As I have said, not only have we progressed, we also won trophies. How a team plays is very subjective, so there’s only one thing in football – and that’s about the end of the season and if you win prizes and trophies or not.
In a somewhat defensive and bizarre analysis of his achievements as United boss, he continued:
“I repeat myself, after City we won the most trophies in English football. I don’t care if I get the credit or I don’t get the credit, it’s about having to build this club.
“We brought young players in, we progressed young players, we won trophies, so what can I do more? As far as I know, the fans are happy with me, but it’s not about me, it’s about Man United – and of course we set higher targets.
“We have very big ambitions, the club, the leadership, the team definitely. So everyone sees the potential – and now we have to work very hard to achieve the targets.”
