We will do."We will also look to the window in January or next summer already and also to improve our way of playing by making plans."The City game will be the first of 13 fixtures in the space of 43 days for United before top-level domestic football closes down for the World Cup.Ten Hag added on MUTV: "Of course, it's coming, a period with a game every third day and we have to get ready for that."The players, 90% are away, but the others we will train properly.

We have to prepare very well. Then I hope that everyone stays fit, returns back healthy and then we have to get in to attack."United had little trouble against the Moldovan champions in Chisinau, the match having been moved to the capital for security reasons.Jadon Sancho responded to news he had been omitted from England's latest squad by opening the scoring after 17 minutes.Sancho then had an effort cleared off the line before Cristiano Ronaldo wrapped up victory with his first goal of the season, from the penalty spot.The win was United's first in the competition
