Erik ten Hag has insisted Manchester United are a "long way away" from being ready to win the Premier League and claimed Ralf Rangnick's assessment that the club need open-heart surgery was correct.Rangnick was scathing about United towards the end of his interim spell in charge during the 2021-22 campaign.Current Austria boss Rangnick stated more than two years ago that the "attitude and energy" at Old Trafford had to change and Ten Hag has reflected on the comments made by his predecessor in a wide-ranging interview with Dutch newspaper AD Sportwereld."Rangnick was absolutely right.

We’ve been working very hard on that for two years, but he said it just right," Ten Hag said, having won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup during his two seasons in charge amid intense spectulation over his job."Our standards still need to go up."I knew when I started that it was going to be a tough job.

There are a lot of people who have advised me. Louis van Gaal too."We want this club back to where it was more than a decade ago, to a club that wins the Premier League, which can win Champions Leagues.

We are really a long way away from that, I think."I think we’ve taken steps since then, otherwise we wouldn’t have won two prizes, but we are not yet so far that a 'winning culture’ already prevails here in all respects."Our standards, our norms and values, still need to go up.
