Ten Hag: We have beaten all the top teams, now we have to make the next step 

Manchester United manager Eric Ten Hag confirmed that there is a big gap between his team's players and the leading teams in the Premier League, before facing Real Betis, tomorrow, in the second leg of the round of 16 of the European League, after the first-leg match was settled by four goals to one.
Manchester United will not be complacent when they play Real Betis in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday, despite starting with three-goal advantage, manager Erik ten Hag said.
United overwhelmed the Spanish side 4-1 at home thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst, four days after their humbling 7-0 loss to Liverpool in the Premier League.
"I think we have made good progress. Also, we have to acknowledge there is still a gap. I couldn’t expect that we close that gap that quickly. What we want is we want to win every game, no matter which opponent. I think in all of the games you have seen till now, I think that was our approach. We tried to win every game. Also we have beaten all the top teams so we are capable to do it. So now we have to make the next step to do that more dominant, more consistent. So we have some steps to take. But we know, there is time, we can do it.”
"You see the competition. I also heard comments from other players and other managers in the Premier League. The Premier League was never as difficult as now, there are so many competitors. It is not a two-horse race. It’s five, six, seven-horse races so you have to be very good if you want to win that league. But we are aiming for that. What we want, so do six, seven more clubs. And they will invest and they will spend big money. And they have great managers, so they have great players. So it’s a lot about details in the end, you can win it. But as I said, we have beaten all the teams in the Premier League so we are capable to do it but we are aware of it at the club and also in the team. We are aware of it, we have some steps to go.”
He was asked if United can go unbeaten for the rest of the season and said: "We are capable of it but now we have to show it again. We can't think too far ahead and must take it game-by-game.”
