Erik ten Hag has hit back at Jose Mourinho's claims that the Portuguese manager said he did not have the backing of Manchester United bosses in his time as Red Devils boss.
Both managers have spent almost £400m each at Old Trafford, but the Dutch coach believes Mourinho did have the players he asked for to get through the season.
"Apart from Mourinho, the manager didn't get the players they wanted, and that is what you need. I am confident we will achieve our goals, but it is a tough competition (the Premier League). It is not a two-horse race anymore."
Furthermore, the former Ajax coach has also stressed that he will need to improve the squad in order to be able to fight for the Premier League title in the future.
"There are seven, eight who all go for the title, who all have very good squads. So, if you want to go to the title, you have to construct that squad," added Ten Hag.
