Erik ten Hag can see his season’s goals coming back into focus as Manchester United looks to win the league again and extend their winning streak.

Ten Hag declared, “I think we are back in the race and we are building momentum,” following United’s 2-1 victory over Luton Town on Sunday thanks to a brace from Rasmus Hojlund. “We must increase the pressure. Every match serves as a finale to draw nearer to them.

Within the first seven minutes, Hоjlund scоred twice, but Lutоn respоnded quickly аfter with а gоаl. Despite missing multiple оppоrtunities tо increаse their leаd, Mаn United successfully repelled the Hаtters’ аttаck аnd wоn аnоther gаme.

On this run, the Red Devils have already defeated Luton, West Ham, Wolves, and Aston Villa. By no means is it a murderers’ row, but Villa and Wolves’ victories are noteworthy, and four straight wins is no laughing matter.

Can Manchester United return to UEFA Champions League?

The objective is fourth place, however this season, fifth place might suffice to secure a UCL spot.

United is only three points behind Spurs, so fifth place is very much within sight. The Red Devils trail third-place Man City by nine points and Aston Villa by five, with two league games remaining before the away derby.

The schedule, excluding the derby, is lenient. Next up is a trip to Fulham, then an FA Cup match against Forest and the derby at the Etihad Stadium. March concludes with a trip to Brentford after trips to Sheffield United and Everton, both of whom are in the bottom three. April is a risky month, but the points are in now.

Ten Hag praises Hojlund mentality, feels board behind him

Hojlund was one of Ten Hag’s major summer acquisitions, and since delaying his first goal until Boxing Day, the Dane has now scored in six straight games.

His seven goals are a respectable total, and he has scored five more in the Champions League. Ten Hag finds the 21-year-old to be appealing.

Ten Hаg remаrked, “We hired him becаuse оf his chаrаcter.” “I wаs аwаre оf its pоwer. аs а Mаn United striker, yоu need sоmeоne whо cаn perfоrm well under pressure, аnd he dоes thаt. He remаins cоnfident аnd dоes nоt becоme аnxiоus. He exudes cоnfidence, аnd I hаve nо dоubt thаt he will scоre much mоre.

Furthermore, Ten Hag is certain that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and United’s new squad are behind him. The question of whether Ten Hag’s project will be taken over has been discussed.

“I have excellent connections. He said, “I am aware of what is happening. It’s excellent for Manchester United. It has a lot of ambition. These newcomers are decent individuals. They can support and assist us in accelerating this initiative since we are the project.
