Erik ten Hag<\/strong><\/p>\n New Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has said he can end the dominance of Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League.<\/p>\n United finished 35 points behind Pep Guardiola\u2019s champions. However, the Dutchman, during his presentation at Old Trafford, believes the top two can be toppled.<\/p>\n \u201cIn this moment, I admire them both, Manchester City and Liverpool,\u201d Ten Hag said. \u201cThey both play really fantastic football, both Liverpool and Man City.<\/p>\n \u201cBut you will always see an era can come to an end, and I am looking forward to battle with them, and I am sure all the other Premier League clubs will want to do that.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve already met big coaches and big teams in the Premier League, and I know how to deal with that.<\/p>\n \u201cBut it\u2019s clear, the Premier League is the biggest league in the world, I think and I\u2019m looking forward to battling with them (sic<\/em>).\u201d<\/p>\n Ten Hag has signed an initial three-year contract at United, having secured three league titles while in charge at Ajax. There have been suggestions the 52-year-old is taking a risk by trying to succeed where Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have failed, but Ten Hag doesn\u2019t see it that way.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t see it as a risk,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is a fantastic history and the high potential for the future \u2013 that\u2019s why I\u2019m here. I don\u2019t speak with the players now, they need a break, they need a break to reflect, but I\u2019m looking forward, and I can\u2019t wait to start (sic<\/em>).\u201d<\/p>\n Asked whether Cristiano Ronaldo is part of his plans for the future, Ten Hag said \u201cof course\u201d. But he was less enthusiastic about the prospect of working with former interim boss, Ralf Rangnick, who is due to take up a two-year consultancy role.<\/p>\n Asked whether he would support Rangnick taking up the role, Ten Hag replied pointedly: \u201cThat\u2019s on the club.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Erik ten Hag New Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has said he can end the dominance of Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League.
