Manchester United announced the appointment of Ten Hag as their new permanent manager on Thursday, April 21. He will take charge of the team after the ongoing season ends.
United haven’t won the Premier League title since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013. They have also gone five consecutive years without any silverware. The Red Devils have often been accused of rushing through managers and not giving them the time or resources to rebuild a squad.
However, Rooney believes the club’s board will allow Ten Hag to rebuild properly but stated that it will take time. He said (via Channel News Asia):
He added:
Manchester United’s last trophy came in the form of their Europa League triumph under Jose Mourinho in 2017. The club’s fans will hope that Ten Hag will be able to take them back to their glory days.
Manchester United set to face Arsenal to keep their slim hopes of Premier League top four alive
United are currently sixth in the Premier League table, three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and fifth-placed Arsenal. They have also played one more game than the two north London clubs.
The Red Devils now travel to the Emirates on Saturday, April 23 to take on Arsenal in the Premier League.
With just five games left for them, United can ill afford to drop points if they are to make it to the top four this season.
They would arguably need a win even to keep their Europa League hopes alive. This is because seventh-placed West Ham United are just two points behind Ralf Rangnick’s men.
