Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has insisted that he has never dealt with an injury list like the one engulfing Manchester United throughout his decade in management.
Erik ten Hag has been forced to deal with some injury problems in the past few weeks with majority of his center backs ruled out.
Harry Maguire who was the only fit center back in the first team has also been ruled out for the reminder of the season.
Ahead of United’s trip to Crystal Palace on Monday night, Erik ten Hag spoke about his injury problems, noting that its a new experience for him.
“For over 10 years I am managing, I never had this experience,” Ten Hag said speaking before the England defender’s setback. “So huge, so many injury issues, so I trust all my experience, it can happen once in 10 years.
“Hopefully now I have to wait another 10 to have so many injuries to deal with.”
Ten Hag added that as from next season, United need to build a bigger squad replete with players capable of dealing with the stresses of playing for the club.
The Dutchman said: “That is one of the issues in constructing the squad where we have to improve, to do things better, to construct a squad where we have more depth.”
Despite a positive first season at the club, Erik ten Hag has faced a difficult second season with United out of Europe before Christmas and already unable to qualify for the Champions League next term.
