Erik ten Hag says he wants to put Manchester United ‘on top of the world’ but admits the standards at Old Trafford had slipped when he took over in the summer.
Ten Hag has won 12 of his first 19 games in charge ahead of Thursday’s Carabao Cup third round tie against Aston Villa, having lost 3-1 to the same opponents in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Dutchman feels he is going in the right direction to restore United to former glories after inheriting a difficult situation, but has warned there will be setbacks along the way.
