EPL: Ten Hag pleads for patience as Manchester United miss out on Champions League qualification

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has appealed for “patience” after it was confirmed his team will not finish in the Premier League's top four.

United drew 1-1 at home to Burnley on Saturday, while Aston Villa drew 2-2 with Chelsea, meaning Ten Hag's side will not be able to finish lower than fifth this season.

This is down from last season, when the Red Devils qualified for the Champions League in third place.

“We have some very young players, which is why we have rebuilt this club, but it will take time,” Ten Hag said.

“We have built a team by bringing in young players like Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Højlund and Koby Mainu, all of whom are in their first season of the Premier League. The Premier League is becoming more and more competitive every year. There is.

“Those players have to adjust and it takes time. I'm very impatient, but you have to be patient.”
