It is early days for Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, but he has already made a good start on fulfilling a promise he made when he arrived at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag was announced as United's next manager back on April 21, but with the end of Ajax’s season to focus on, it wasn’t until May 23 when we heard from the Dutchman. In the event he struck a defiant tone, saying he was ready to put an end to the era of dominance from Liverpool and Manchester City.
"In this moment I admire them. I admire them both,” he said. “They play, in this moment, really fantastic football, both Liverpool and Manchester City. But you will always see that an era can come to an end. I am looking forward to battling with them and I am sure all the other clubs in the Premier League will want to do that."
