Ten Hag asks Man Utd fans to be patient for the future biggame1688

biggame1688 Erik ten Hag backs Joshua Zirkze to become Manchester United’s top scorer and urges fans to be patient with his young side biggame1688

Serkze has scored just one goal in seven games since joining from Bologna in the summer for £36.5m, with United’s lack of goalscoring prowess once again a major issue for Ten Hag. ( biggame1688 )

The Dutch youngster leads the way up front as Rasmus Hojlund returns from a hamstring injury and Ten Hag is confident Serkze can become the complete striker.

“Yes, he’s young and you can see his ability. He’s a very good link-up player. He’s creative. He creates chances. But to be fair, he’s had his moments in front of goal.”

“In that area he can definitely improve, but we know that in advance. He has very good qualities and some qualities he has to improve. He needs our support to improve.”

“We didn’t score enough goals, that’s the problem. It’s a big area and we need to score more goals as a team. We have players who have the ability to score goals, that’s clear. You see all the chances we created, but we didn’t score enough goals.”

“We are still working and we are progressing. We have decided to sign young players, like last year with Hojlund, like this year with Serkse and Leni Yoro, players we believe in now and for the future and we have to build them up.”

“I think we’ve turned the corner and now we have to work with the team and that takes time. I’m also impatient and I want to progress, but we’ve had success in the last two seasons and we have to work hard to create more success.”
