Manchester United struggling to live up to their manager's lofty claims despite Burnley's draw.
In the aftermath of Manchester United's frustrating 1-1 draw against relegation-threatened Burnley at Old Trafford, manager Erik ten Hag has made a bold claim about his team's performances this season.
The result means that Manchester United will not play in the Champions League next season, a bitter disappointment for the club and its passionate supporters.

Five mistakes Ten Hag made in Man United vs Burnley
With the result against Burnley, there are areas for improvement for manager Erik Ten Hag.
Ten Hag makes bold United claim
Antony had given the home side the lead with a stunning strike in the second half, but Burnley struck back late on from the penalty spot to earn a share of the spoils.
However, Ten Hag's assessment of his team's performances this season appears to be at odds with the statistics and the overall perception of their displays.
"We are one of the most dynamic and entertaining teams in the league at this moment," the Dutch tactician stated, despite his side's failure to secure all three points against their resilient opponents.
While the Red Devils have undoubtedly shown flashes of brilliance, their inconsistency and inability to break down well-organized defences have been a constant source of frustration.
The draw leaves United in a precarious position in the race for European qualification, with their top-four hopes now ended with games to spare.
Fans of the Red Devils will be hoping that the team can regroup and find a way to turn their fortunes around in the remaining fixtures, but the pressure is firmly on Ten Hag and his players to deliver.
As the season reaches its climax, Manchester United's supporters will be desperate to see their team recapture the form and flair that has been so elusive in recent weeks.
