Manchester United head coach Eric Ten Hag is convinced that his team has become stronger than last season.
Having finished last season in third place in the Premier League, United are only in eighth place before the final round of this campaign.
According to Ten Hag, the deterioration in results is primarily due to an abnormally large number of injuries. However, the progress of young Cobby Mainu, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Heilund makes Eric feel that his team has improved relative to what it was 12 months ago.
“When you look at the results, you will say no. But we know the reasons for this, so yes, I would say that we have become better.”
“We have more high-quality players in the squad, and from this point of view our position has improved.”
Manchester United is a very attractive club for any player. We have contributed to the development of a number of young players with very high potential who can add skill to the team.”
“And given the presence of established experienced players, it can be a very good combination. It can be a very good team, aspiring to high goals,” Ten Haga was quoted as saying by the BBC.
