But I think we are now in a good direction.”The priority has to be securing Champions League football again, as Ten Hag admits United are not at the level of Manchester City, Liverpool or Arsenal. However, he knows taking the next step and re-establishing them as title challengers will take longer due to the investment they have made in young players with potential. Ten Hag admits if they continue their current progress they could end up saving the club millions in the transfer window. Manchester United youngsters Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho have flourished this season.
