Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag believes the Red Devils can beat any team in the world as long as everyone is fit.
Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United have a squad capable of beating anyone, but they must avoid injuries to have a successful campaign.
The Red Devils have already signed the defender Leny Yoro and forward Joshua Zirkzee this summer and Ten Hag is also pursuing a full-back – Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui is a target – plus a defensive midfielder, Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte.

Ten Hag backs a fit United team against anyone
The United boss believes more signings are needed but as long as injuries are avoided, this is a team that can go up against anyone.
“We already had very good two buys,” Ten Hag said.
“So when everyone is fit we have a team who can beat everyone, but the squad depth we have to catch up because we had injuries.
“We are vulnerable and we have to avoid this by getting fewer injuries and second, our squad has to be that good,” Ten Hag added.
“The quality we have in depth, we have to catch up, but even more because this season will be the survival of the fittest.”
