Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has admitted that "standards were not right" when he arrived at the club last summer. Ten Hag inherited a squad that had just recorded United’s lowest ever Premier League points tally, fewest league wins since 1991, as well as conceding the most goals in a single campaign since 1979. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had started the 2021/22 season in charge, followed by Michael Carrick as short-lived caretaker and Ralf Rangnick as interim. Ultimately, United finished the Premier League campaign with six defeats in their last 11 Game s, winning just three of them. There was a feeling that a new culture was needed, which Ten Hag set about creating. "You will not reach the levels when you don’t do the things right.

Saudi Arabia aims to become the “ultimate global hub” of the $180 billion-a-year video game industry DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Saudi Arabia, the new home of some of soccer’s biggest stars and a co-owner of professional Golf , is proving to be no less ambitious when it comes to another global pastime – the $180 billion -a-year video Game industry.
