“These are the alternatives now we have made within the final two seasons,” he mentioned.
“We made the selection for youthful gamers and you’ll’t count on them to be within the [top] stage.”
“Now we have to enhance them and so they have to enhance themselves and now we have to discover a group that may be profitable on a constant foundation.
“This group, within the final two years, has proven what they will do with persistence. With persistence we are able to win trophies and now now we have to get extra constant.
“With all of the restrictions we had, now we have performed good work. Now now we have to work with the squad and enhance.”
Requested if he’s conscious of the criticism he’s receiving, the supervisor mentioned:
“I don’t learn, in fact, all of the criticism. It’s not even attainable however I don’t need even to know.
“I have to know some, and a few are excellent recommendation. However for me it’s keep medical and see the place the group is, which areas now we have to enhance.”
Ten Hag was additionally requested if he was advised he wanted to qualify for the Champions League this season to maintain his job.
“It’s by no means spoken of now you ask me the query – however what I feel is now we have to succeed.
“Now we have to win trophies, that’s what this membership stands for. This membership has the ambition to play on the best platform and we wish to obtain the Champions League. Now we have two routes, one is thru the Premier League and one is thru the Europa League.

“When you find yourself on this membership it’s important to cope with this issue – and we do.”
“However we all know additionally that, with all respect, younger gamers, a younger squad, a brand new group takes a while.
