EPL: I didn’t say that – Ten Hag on playing UCL after 2-2 draw with Bournemouth

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has denied that they are out of the race to qualify for next season’s Champions League following their 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday.

The result means United have won only one of their past seven matches in all competitions.

Ten Hag’s men are 10 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa and fifth-placed Tottenham with six games left.

“We give what we can, but I am also realistic.

“And so when the full squad was there, I still would’ve said high belief, but we will keep fighting also with the players who are available. And you see there is high potential but also young players.

When asked if he feels the Champions League is beyond his team now, Ten Hag replied: “No. No, I didn’t say that.”
