Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is confident he will lift another trophy at the end of the season despite rebuilding his squad.

Luis Diaz’s brace and Mo Salah’s other goal gave Liverpool a 3-0 win at Old Trafford on Saturday. The Red Devils spent more

than £200million on new players in the summer and the Dutchman has described it as a rebuilding of the squad.

“Again, we have to rebuild the team. I have explained it many times, including in the press conference on Friday,” Ten Hag said.

“We will build this new team. We have young players. สมัคร ufabet We have players now that we will build this season. “

Today I think we had two or three players who started the first game of the season. And they didn’t finish 90 minutes.”

Meanwhile, the former Ajax boss insisted he still has a lot to look forward to this season. “We will be OK but it is clear that we have to improve. “

Ten Hag’s side went toe to toe with Arne Slot’s men for the first half an hour. But costly errors from Casemiro and clinical finishing from Luis Diaz put the visitors in total command at half-time.

Mohamed Salah scored his customary goal against United in the 56th minute and Liverpool saw out the game with relative ease in a rapidly emptying stadium.

For long-suffering United fans, it appears to be a case of rinse and repeat.

The club, who have not won the Premier League since Alex Ferguson’s final season in charge in 2013. Appear to be stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of mediocrity despite multiple changes of personnel on and off the pitch.

Ten Hag was handed a contract extension in July but only. After United had considered alternatives following a season in which they finished a lowly eighth in the Premier League.

United’s 2-1 victory against Manchester City in the FA Cup final in May proved vital after it seemed likely the Dutchman would be sacked.

The embattled Ten Hag was forced to defend himself after Sunday’s defeat, which followed a last-gasp win against Fulham and a defeat at Brighton.

“It is just the third game in the season, we have to build a new team,” said the 54-year-old. “I explained this so many times, we will build this new team, we have young players and players to build in.

“It is clear we have to improve but at the end of the season I am confident we will have a big chance to lift another trophy.”
