Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag commented on his team's chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League, emphasizing the progress made by the Red Devils under his leadership. Manchester United is currently in sixth place in the English Premier League standings with 48 points, 11 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa, the final team qualifying for the Champions League next season, although the Red Devils have played two fewer matches.
Regarding his team's Champions League qualification hopes, Ten Hag stated: "I have high standards, and therefore I will be disappointed if we do not qualify for the Champions League." The Dutch coach added in statements shared by journalist Fabrizio Romano on X: "I know it is very difficult as we are not in a good position, but we will continue to fight until the end."
Ten Hag urged his team's supporters to be patient with his process, saying: "We are on a good path and moving in the right direction, and we need to take the next steps; don't spoil this process." It is worth noting that Manchester United will travel tonight, Thursday, to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the 31st round of the Premier League.
