Man Utd boss Ten Hag: We need to buy to lift standards

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says there's much room improvement within the squad

Ten Hag is convinced by the potential of the current players.

He said, "I think that is one part of it. The other thing has to come out of the progress in the current squad and the current players and that is the job that I have to do to get into guarantees with that squad and with my coaching staff.

"I think we make huge progress during the season. The team, many individuals, play a fantastic, great season and now we have a good base. But as I just mentioned, I think there is still a lot of room for improvement also in this squad.

"But then when you get the right players in, that will help and that will even give you more depth and a better standard and level. And then you have more chance to be in the top four and then it gives you more chance to win titles and trophies."
