Erik ten Hag thinks that even if Manchester United isn't competing in the Champions League, it will be simpler to persuade transfer targets to move to Old Trafford this summer.
Following his hiring last year, Ten Hag spent a club record ÂŁ220 million on new players, signing Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Antony, Christian Eriksen, and Tyrell Malacia.
The Dutchman admitted on Friday that convincing players to support his rebuilding effort was difficult, but he thinks it is already obvious that won't be the case again this summer.
In his debut season, Ten Hag won the Carabao Cup and advanced to the FA Cup final. Ten Hag now intends to conclude the season with a top-four Premier League finish during the next four games.
When asked if it would be simpler to get players even if United didn't make the Champions League, he responded, "I see a big difference compared to last year." When I spoke with players last year, there were a lot of reservations.
Numerous participants are now aware of the dynamics, ambition, and quality of this initiative. They truly want to come, I can tell that much.
'It seems like there were a lot of hesitations and skepticisms when we approached players last year. Many excellent players genuinely want to attend this year.
Expectations are higher, but we also need to recognize where we were in the previous season and seasons.
Rebuilding and reconstruction are required. We are moving in the correct path and are in that process. That is evident in the way we play. We are more opportunistic.
You can tell since we have already won one award and are competing in another final. We currently rank in the top four, and we must maintain that position.
Of sure, we need to improve daily. We must put in effort and advance. Everyone at the club is expected to meet that requirement, including the players and staff in particular.
