manchester united will face their arch-rivals liverpool at old trafford on sunday. before the "reds vs liverpool" match, coach erik ten hag mocked the reds, saying that he has won two titles in two years and liverpool cannot compare. the 54-year-old dutchman boasted that only manchester city has a better record than him.

since taking office in 2022, ten hag has won the english league cup and fa cup. he is the first manchester united coach to win the championship for two consecutive seasons since sir alex ferguson in 2010. during the same period, liverpool only won one championship, the league cup last year.

ten hag said: "we have won the most trophies in the past two years, only behind manchester city, so we are better than any team, that's a fact. we also want to win the championship this year, and i am confident that manchester united can continue to improve on this basis. this is what i have been doing for the past 11 years, so i will be patient."

ten hag added of his achievements: "i had to rebuild this club. we used players from the academy, we developed young players and we won trophies. so what else could i do?"

in his first season as coach, ten hag ended manchester united's six-year trophy drought and finished runner-up in the fa cup, ranking third in the premier league. in his second season, he led the team to win the fa cup. although they only ranked eighth in the premier league, in the direct confrontation with liverpool, manchester united eliminated their opponent in the fa cup extra time and drew in the league, shattering klopp's fantasy of winning the treble before retirement. those are considered to be the two highlights of ten hag's last season.
