United begin their campaign at home to Fulham on Friday night with Ten Hag looking to improve on their worst Premier League finish. “We also won two trophies, which gave us belief that we are capable of winning,” Ten Hag said when asked if they can use last season’s league disappointment as motivation.
The Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is pretty excited. He said his side “want to win every competition in which we are taking part, definitely also the Premier League.” Read the full story from Will Unwin below.
And on a Friday? Well, I guess that’s how it is these days. How excited are you for the new season?
To quote that Premier League advert: “it’s a bit much innit?” We’ve barely had a break from football thanks to the Euros and the Olympics. Yet, the Premier League is back … already.
It’s the Premier League!
