Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has spoken candidly about his time at the club, reflecting on the highs and the ever-present need for improvement. Speaking to Set Stories, the Dutchman acknowledged the significant moments he experienced at Old Trafford but maintained his philosophy that there is always room to grow.
“We have had many maximums in Man United, but as I always say: there is always a margin of improvement,” Ten Hag stated, emphasizing his belief that success should never lead to complacency. Throughout his tenure, he often pushed for higher standards, insisting that merely being “good” was never enough for a club of United’s stature.
