Erik ten Hag has declared that it's a "must" for Manchester United to qualify for the Champions League during his first season in charge.
The new Red Devils boss will likely battle in the Europa League over his maiden campaign, with interim manager Ralf Rangnick guiding United to their worst points return in Premier League history before his final match on Sunday against Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Ten Hag's now former club, Ajax, will continue to compete in Europe's premier competition after he led them to their third Eredivisie title in four completed seasons.
The Dutchman tactician has expressed his regret at no longer being involved in Champions League nights, telling Ajax's media channels in his farewell interview: "On those nights, I'll be an Ajax fan and root for them. I would've liked to be active myself, but sadly that's not the case."
