A bullish Erik ten Hag hit back after Man Utd’s FA Cup final win against Man City as uncertainty continues to surround his future at the club.
There was plenty of focus on the Dutchman after his side were 2-1 winners at Wembley, with goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo securing a second trophy in two seasons under Ten Hag.
Victory also secured a place in the Europa League next season.
When questioned about his future after the game, Ten Hag said: “I don’t think about this. I’m in a project and we are exactly where we want to be.
“We are constructing a team and when I took over, it was a mess at Man Utd. We are now on our way to constructing a team for the future.
“There will be ups and downs, but you see, the team is developing, the team is winning and at the end of the day, it is about winning trophies.
“The team also plays to an identity, but you need the players to be available. You need a strong squad in top football, especially when you play in England and in Europe. The Premier League is so competitive, so you need a very good squad, and you need the players available in that squad.
