Ten Hag: Manchester United not ready for the new season

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, has said Manchester United isn’t ready for the new season yet.

Manchester United kick off the campaign with a home clash against Fulham at Old Trafford on Friday night.

From injuries to a lack of adequate preparation and embedding his new signings, Ten Hag doesn’t think Manchester United are prepared for the season, yet.

“The team is not ready but the league starts,” Erik ten Hag said at his pre-match press conference before the Premier League opener vs Fulham.

“There are more managers that have to deal with this problem, we definitely have this problem.

“But we have some rules, some principles, but we have to make a start, can’t hide, we can’t run away from it, we have to deal with it.”

Stressing on the constant pressure to deliver, the Manchester United boss added: “It’s not the pre-season where in five to six weeks you work on a team, it’s very complicated.

“The USA tour squad and then we added the players at Euros and Copa America and now new signings and we have to make a team from it…

“Still, we have some room, have some principles and we have to make a start.”
