Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has called on the club’s new owners to demonstrate their commitment by standing by him through tough times next season.
Ten Hag had his contract extended by another year despite facing speculation about potential replacements and finishing eighth in the Premier League last season.
The Dutch manager stated that true support is proven not only during successful periods but also during challenging times.
“I feel that we are building something and that the people around me, we are in the same boat,” ten Hag said during the club’s preseason tour in Los Angeles. “What I hope is that we avoid this [a dip in form].”
Ten Hag is focusing on developing a team around young talents like Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Højlund. The club’s major summer signing so far is 18-year-old defender Leny Yoro.
Erik Ten Hag requested that patience will be essential as young players experience ups and downs.
“With young players, it will go with ups and downs, and we have to realize that,” he said.
