00:00 Michael, looking at the longevity of the season now,
00:03 Tenhag obviously had a fantastic first season at the club.
00:06 What are the sort of objectives moving forward long term this season for Man United?
00:11 Where do they want to be?
00:12 Yeah, I mean, you're right.
00:15 United had a really good season last year under Tenhag.
00:18 He, you know, considering where they were when he came in,
00:22 there was real progression, real development to win a cup competition.
00:26 The first one they've won since 2017 was a fantastic achievement.
00:29 I think to get the final of another cup, the quarterfinals of a third,
00:33 you know, and then get back in the Champions League, finish third in the division,
00:37 I think that's a really good season.
00:38 There were obviously some down points in it.
00:40 I think the habit of kind of collapsing in matches and losing by big,
00:46 significant scorelines is one area that they need to address this season.
00:49 They can't have seven nils and six threes and four nil losses.
00:53 That's just not acceptable for United.
00:54 So I think they need to iron out those issues.
00:57 And I think that this season they'll want, again, cup runs.
01:00 I mean, they're not going to win the league.
01:02 Well, I don't think so anyway.
01:04 But I think some good cup runs could be important for them.
01:09 And I think that in my eyes, this isn't the season,
01:11 the challenge for the title for United.
01:12 But I think that we want in 12 months from a United perspective
01:15 to be talking about a side who could potentially challenge to win the league.
01:19 I think that's going to be the aim for Tenhag this year,
01:21 to essentially close the gap to certainly City at the top of the league,
01:25 but if not, potentially Arsenal as well.
01:27 So that's kind of how I view United going into the season.
01:30 I think that as well, Tenhag is starting to get his philosophy across more.
01:34 I think the signings of Anan and Mount are actually massive for that as well.
01:38 And I think that if they can...
01:40 Yeah, I think that at the end of this season,
01:42 we want to have a real clear perspective and understanding
01:45 of what exactly it is that Tenhag wants
01:47 and Tenhag is trying to get out of this team.
01:49 And I think that would be another sign of improvement.
01:51 And just to keep developing on last year,
01:53 I think is the main aim for United going into the 2023/24 season.
