ERIK TEN HAG celebrated leading Manchester United back to the Champions League with a bike ride.

The Dutchman, 53, oversaw United’s 4-1 win over Chelsea on Thursday.

And this result confirmed the position of the Red Devils as a competitor for next season’s Champions League, causing arch-rival Liverpool to lose.

After the great battle at Old Trafford, Ten Hag was spotted cycling in Cheshire on Friday.

When summer is fast approaching, he is seen with his jacket slung over the front of his bike.

He wears a light gray long-sleeved shirt, paired with black sneakers and dark gray trousers.

However, despite good progress in the first year, he believes there is still much work to be done.

This started in the summer, with Ten Hag pleading with Man Utd bosses to get “better players” for him.

Speaking after Frank Lampard’s win over struggling Chelsea, he told Sky Sports: “It’s a good base to build on but the standards have to go up and the demands have to go up.

“We have to work in the summer with this squad but we also have to strengthen in the transfer window with this squad.

“We want to compete for the title but it has to be realistic. That’s what’s there.

“Now we are far away so there is still a lot of work to be done but we need better players if we want to compete for the top spot.”

Harry Kane tops United’s list of transfer targets, with Ten Hag said to be “obsessed” with Tottenham’s trump card.

However, knowing Daniel Levy’s difficult negotiation skills, MU has prepared a short list of 6 strikers if Kane proves to be unattainable.

Elsewhere, stars like Declan Rice and Mason Mount have been linked with the moves.

Defenders Kim Min-Jae and Jermaine Frimpong are other stars targeted by the Red Devils this summer.

Ten Hag has been spotted on his bike before.

He was spotted cycling with his wife Bianca at the start of the season, before being spotted hanging out on Valentine’s Day.
