Manchester United could be the underdogs for this title race. Erik Ten Hag has transformed this United side and an important game against Arsenal could be the challenge they are awaiting. Ten Hag believes this United side can indeed compete for titles under him.
‘Trust the Process’:
“I think the Premier League at the moment develops to have six, seven teams who all finally can win the league, because of so many investments,” Ten Hag said this week. “When you have the right philosophy, the right strategy, many more clubs can compete for the top positions in the league. If you want to be there you have to be really good, you need that consistency, that good strategy, the consistency in the strategy and you need hard work. To win trophies everything has to go in the right way.”
Asked whether he was the man to lead United to success, Ten Hag added: “Yes, I am quite convinced of that process. We are going in the right direction. But we have to improve a lot if you want to compete in the future for the top positions, because the competition will be really tough.”
Quizzed on whether his players’ increased candour in recent interviews was a result of his influence, he explained: “I don’t know. But what I want to bring in is a culture of high standards, values, accountability and transparency. So honestly that is our values that I want to set and control, both internal and external with the media and the fans.”
United will want to get a massive win today at the Emirates and get their title challenge started.
