Erik ten Hag’s team suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat at home to Liverpool on Sunday, leaving them with just three points from their first three Premier League matches, following a win against Fulham and a loss to Brighton last month.

This latest setback puts United already six points behind Manchester City and Liverpool, both of whom have won their opening three games of the season.
Despite the club spending over £205 million on new signings during the summer transfer window to close the gap after finishing eighth in the Premier League last season, Fernandes admits that United are still not equipped to challenge for the title and insists that a top-four finish is the “minimum” goal for the team.
‘We don’t have to look at the results. What I said and the renewal was a long-term thing,’ Fernandes told DAZN.
‘I am perfectly aware that United is not ready, at this moment, to win the championship. We are fighting for it.
‘The minimum objective is to finish in the top four, which guarantees us the Champions League.
‘But we are aware that we still have a lot of things to improve in order to be able to dream of this bigger objective, which is what I and all of us want, which is to win the championship.’
