He pointed out that Manchester United has not scored more goals, nor has it had fewer goals against, and the team has not won any major trophies.

Hasselbaink also mentioned that the team's recent European final appearance against Tottenham was not a strong indication of improvement, as he considered Tottenham to be a weaker side last season.

Hasselbaink emphasized that the team's manager has a lot of work to do to address the team's lack of creativity, which he believes is a key issue.
