Erik ten Hag dodges question about when Man United can win the title


 Erik ten Hag spoke to the press for the first time as Manchester United manager today and avoided an important question. 

When ask about when Man United can win the Premier League, Ten Hag said: “I don’t think about that at this moment. I’m thinking that this is a project and it takes time. We want to win every game. We go from game to game and then we’ll see.”

The Dutchman has clearly avoided the question due to the mess United are in at present but it is no doubt the smart answer. It would reflect badly on the former Ajax boss should he say, for example, that Man United will win the league in two years and if the club is still nowhere near that then, the 52-year-old’s quotes from today would be dug back up and possibly affect future opportunities.
