Erik ten Hag says Manchester United are ready for the new campaign after wrapping up their pre-season with a 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford – but has warned that his team’s improvement will be gradual throughout the season.
United kick off against Brighton and Hove Albion next Sunday with questions around Cristiano Ronaldo ’s future still swirling.
While Ten Hag took charge of his first home match this afternoon and handed a debut to £55m Lisandro Martinez plus a first start for Christian Eriksen, much of the focus was on Ronaldo.
