Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag spoke about the main goals of the team after their exit from the Champions League from Bayern Munich (0:1).
The Telegraph quotes ten Hag as saying:
Of course [it can help]. That (top four)’s the target. We have had so many injuries in the first part of the season but now we have less games so the load will be less and that can give players the opportunity to recover. We will have more time on the training pitch and we can be fresher in the games.
