The coach of Manchester United, Erik ten Hag, has said that he feels confident that he can win trophies with his team, saying that in the last 2 years only Manchester City has won more trophies than the "Red Devils". On the eve of the important confrontation with Liverpool, the Dutch technician emphasized his triumphs in the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup. Ten Hag said:
"In the last two years, only City has won more trophies than us in English football. This is the reality. These are the facts. This year we want to win. We want to win trophies. I am confident that we will do that."
Ten Hag's statements have received mixed reactions from public opinion, as many fans and sports commentators have been quick to point out the fact that last season, United finished the championship in 8th place. This was the worst record for the Red Devils since 1990. Last week's Premier League loss to Brighton has also not left a good taste at the start of the season. However, Ten Hag has once again expressed his conviction about his team's progress:
"I had to build this team. We have taken young players and we have raised them professionally. We won trophies. What more can I do? As far as I know, the fans are happy with me, but I don't care if I don't get the credit. This is not about me but about Manchester United. We are an ambitious club...We have to work very hard to achieve our objectives."
We remember that since his arrival at the head of the bench, Ten Hag has spent more than 600 million pounds in the market.
