Ten Hag: In the past two years in England, our number of championships is second only to Manchester City, and that’s a fact

On September 1st, Manchester United manager Ten Hag attended the pre-match press conference for the upcoming match against Liverpool, where he discussed the relationship between the team’s huge investment and target achievements, as well as his confidence in the team. He stated, “In the past two years in England, we have won more trophies than any other club except Manchester City, which proves that our performance has been quite excellent. Of course, this year we also hope to win matches and trophies. I am very confident because we will focus on improving our game process and constantly progress.”

When talking about the upcoming match against Liverpool, Ten Hag emphasized the importance of fan support: “I believe our fans are ready for this challenge, they are just as passionate as the team. We will give it our all to face this important match.”

In response to whether Manchester United has improved compared to two years ago, Ten Hag confidently answered, “We have not only made progress, but also won matches and trophies.”

When discussing the improvement in the team’s playing style, Ten Hag pointed out, “In football matches, the most important thing is whether you have won trophies at the end of the season. We have done well in this aspect, second only to Manchester City.”

Regarding whether he has received enough recognition personally, Ten Hag said, “I am not concerned with personal recognition, I am more concerned with building the club. We have introduced and nurtured young players, and won trophies. The fans are very satisfied with me, but that’s not important, what’s important is the development of Manchester United.”

Finally, regarding whether Harry Maguire will become the first-choice central defender, Ten Hag responded, “We have a strong squad and need to rotate throughout the season to maintain player fitness. Harry Maguire is very important to us, I am glad he has returned to the England national team, which proves his recent performances.”
