Manchester United has been in the process of returning to prominence in recent years, however, according to the club’s director, Erik Ten Haag, the project still has a long way to go to reach its final destination.
“Rangnik was absolutely right. We have been working very hard on this for two years, but he said it very well: it is a very detailed business, very complex. And I knew when I started that it would be a difficult job. There are many people who have advised me. And Louis van Gaal as well.
We want this club to get back to where it was a decade ago, to become a club that wins the Premier League, that can win the Champions League. I think we are a long way from that. I think we have made progress since then, otherwise we wouldn’t have won even two trophies.
But we are not yet so far from having a “winning culture” here in every sense. Our standards, norms and values still need to be raised.”
