Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince believes it will take Erik ten Hag at least two years to get the club anywhere close to being capable of challenging Liverpool and Manchester City at the Premier League summit.
Ten Hag, who watched his side fall to an opening day 2-1 defeat to Brighton last weekend, is tasked with trying to bring the good times back to Old Trafford after several years of disappointment. United finished sixth last term and will compete in the Europa League this season.
But in a bid to climb back into the top four this season and push for a Champions League return, United were expected to make eye-catching changes to their squad. However, with just three weeks to go until the window closes, they are yet to secure all of the signings they are in need of.
