Erik ten Hag said Manchester United are not ready to challenge the Premier League’s top teams despite ending table-topping Arsenal‘s perfect start to the season.
United won 3-1 at Old Trafford to make it four wins in a row — a run that included a 2-1 victory over Liverpool.

Despite opening the new campaign with back-to-back defeats to Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford, Ten Hag’s team are up to fifth in the table, but the Dutchman insisted it was too early to consider them title challengers.
“We’re at the start of a process, we’re still far away,” Ten Hag told a news conference. “We have to start doing things much better than we do, that’s an investment. We have to get better if you want to win trophies in the end.”
United had both summer signing Antony and Marcus Rashford on the scoresheet against Arsenal, who were briefly level at 1-1 thanks to Bukayo Saka.
