New football hierarchy raises the bar at Man Utd – Ten Hag

Manchester United have raised the bar with changes to the football hierarchy and are in a strong position to move forward, manager Erik ten Hag said less than a week after signing a contract extension.

“Very, otherwise I wouldn’t extend my contract,” Ten Hag said in an interview on Tuesday for the team’s website.

“I’m here now for two years. As I said, I came here to win, to win titles, trophies. We won two trophies (FA Cup and 2022-23 League Cup), after a dry (spell) of six years, so we are in a good direction.

“Now, with the new ownership coming in, they can help us. They are very supportive. We’ve made a process, which we’ve constructed across the summer and we are in a very good position, a very strong position to go and attack.”

“We are so pleased that around the football, around the first team, we have a strong structure that will help us,” Ten Hag said. “They are really supportive and that will help us in many ways, like in scouting and recruitment, like in the departments of medical and performance.

“They will be so supportive and that will raise the bar.”
