Dimitar Berbatov’s “difficult” Manchester United ambition for Erik ten Hag next season

Dimitar Berbatov has explained that Erik ten Hag should be aiming to win the Premier League next season.

Manchester United finished third in last season’s Premier League campaign, with Erik ten Hag taking the club to Champions League qualification.

United finished 14 points behind winners Manchester City and nine behind second-placed Arsenal, and Dimitar Berbatov believes that Erik ten Hag should aim to win the competition next season.

“They need to be because Erik ten Hag is now fully knowledgeable about everything that’s going on at the club and his debut season is now over,” he said to BetFred.

“Erik’s expectation, the club’s expectation and the fan’s expectation should be to win the Premier League title next season.

“Of course, it’s going to be tough with what Manchester City have done this year, but Manchester United’s motivation should be to stop their domination.

“I believe it will be difficult for Manchester City next season because not only Manchester United, but the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool will be competing with them also. I know Chelsea had a difficult campaign, but they’ll be better next season under Mauricio Pochettino.

“It’s going to be very interesting to see which club presents Manchester City with the biggest challenge.”
