Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says he is not satisfied with his team’s Europa League campaign so far, always focusing on winning the next match instead of resting on his laurels.
With two games remaining in their group, the Red Devils have already qualified for the knockout rounds.
However, they sit in second behind Real Sociedad after losing to the Spanish team in the opening match.
Prior to visiting Sociedad the next week to finish their group games, United will host Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday.
Ten Hag has now stated he wants to see more development from his team.
Meanwhile, winning is obviously essential in Europe, however, the Dutchman claims he has been utilizing the Europa League as a chance for his side to grow and learn as he puts his strategies into action.
