Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, recently shared some thoughts about the young players on his team. He believes that these players have a lot of potential, but they still have room for improvement. This is especially important as the club is currently facing some challenges in the transfer market.
Under ten Hag's leadership, Manchester United has made a conscious effort to invest in young players for their long-term development. Some notable names include Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, and Manuel Ugarte. In addition, Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Amad Diallo have also caught the manager's eye and have been given opportunities to shine on the field. This weekend, ten Hag's team will be facing Tottenham, and he is confident that his young players will perform well.
When asked about his strategy of deploying young players, ten Hag explained that it was a deliberate choice made over the past two seasons. He understands that Manchester United is a club with a rich history and high expectations, but they have had to consider financial limitations and other restrictions. By investing in young players, the team hopes to build a strong foundation for consistent success in the future. However, ten Hag acknowledges that it is a process and that both he and the players need to continue improving.
Ten Hag also shared the club's goal of qualifying for the Champions League this season. He emphasized that winning trophies is a top priority for Manchester United and that the club has the ambition to play at the highest level. Qualifying for the Champions League is one way to achieve this, and the team has two routes - finishing in the top four of the Premier League or winning the Europa League.
Last season, Manchester United secured a spot in the Europa League by winning the FA Cup, defeating their rivals Manchester City in the final. This Thursday, they will face Porto in their second European match of the season, following a draw against FC Twente in their opening game.
