‘Chelsea struggles a warning sign’ says Erik Ten Hag

Manchester United are on the verge of huge takeover, which would see a change in ownership.

Reflecting on that manager Erik Ten Hag pointed out that the club must be wary of the possible consequences, seeing the destiny of Chelsea.

The Blues switched owner last summer and have spent over £600m in two transfer windows.

However, that hasn’t brought them any good as they have enjoyed one of their worst seasons in recent history, with the team sitting in 12th and having guaranteed a bottom-half finish for the first time in 27 years.

“You can have money but you have to do it and spend it in a smart way and you need to have a strategy behind it – otherwise the money doesn’t work. ” said Ten Hag

“In this moment a centralisation of good players, of the best managers, also the money, is all here in the UK. That makes a great competition but also a tough and a hard competition.

“I think there are many more teams in the Premier League who are really strong.”

Manchester United face Chelsea at Old Trafford on Thursday and require a point to guarantee a spot in the top 4.
