(Reuters) - Manchester United cannot afford to become complacent as they look to end their campaign by securing a spot in next season's Champions League, manager Erik ten Hag said on Wednesday.
The Dutchman, who led United to their first silverware since 2016 when they won the League Cup in February, warned his team not ease up in their bid to earn a place in Europe's elite club competition.
Ten Hag's team have six league games left, starting with Thursday's trip to Brighton & Hove Albion, before facing Manchester City in the FA Cup final. "We have to get ready for the fight to get the points. We want to win every game; we want to win every competition. It's clear we want to be in the Champions League, and that's the competition we're now fighting for.United beat Brighton on penalties in the FA Cup semi-finals last month, and Ten Hag acknowledged that Roberto De Zerbi's men would be fired up by the thought of revenge.
