Erik ten Hag has shed light on Manchester United decision to prioritise young players. He said Those are the choices we have made in the last two seasons. I understand the impression that many have for Manchester United because the history is so big.

Addressing the reasons behind this approach Ten Hag explained It has something to do with financials and other restrictions we have to deal with. We made the choice for younger players and you can't expect them to be at the top level.

Ten Hag stressed the importance of development saying We have to improve them and they have to improve themselves. We have to find a team that can be successful on a consistent basis.

With patience we can win trophies and now we have to get more consistent Ten Hag added.
