Ten Hag aiming for more silverware ahead of Liverpool clash

- REBECCA JOHNSON

ERIK ten Hag is 'quite confident' Manchester United will claim more trophies this season.

The Red Devils have started their Premier League campaign with a win and a loss but there are plenty of trophy opportunities on offer this season in domestic competitions and the Europa League.

United continue their league challenge on Sunday with a clash against fierce rivals Liverpool and speaking ahead of that game, Ten Hag insisted that his side can go for silverware again this year.

He told a press conference: "We won the last two years, behind City, the most trophies in English football.

"We performed the last two seasons. Also this year we want to win and want to win trophies.

"I'm quite confident that we will build to this. That is what I did the last 11 years, we will work on the process and we go in for our next targets, we go for trophies.

"There is only one thing in football, that is about at the end of the season if you win prizes, trophies or not."
