Manchester United have made a big progress since Erik ten Hag started to manage them. They are finally getting closer to the level they would like be at slowly. Finishing the season in top four is a really great start for Erik ten Hag. However the expectation will surely get bigger next time. I think the board will expect him to be in a title challenge as much as possible. When it comes to their Champions League goal I assume it would be to qualify for last 16 after completing the first stages of new format successfully.
Can he make all of these happen? It isn't impossible but it is a really tough task to perform for sure. Because there is still a need of even better performance than this. They had better use this transfer window efficiently as well. Signing a centre-forward must be a priority for them now.
You have to look at the state of other top clubs in general, Chelsea have changed coach, the squad will surely be reshuffled and it will give a good result. So at least they can get involved in this race and Manchester United will have a competitor. I'm more interested in Newcastle's fate, whether they will keep this momentum going
