The Manchester United needs a major final face lift to take a positive course, something that has not happened since Sir Alex Ferguson, and it seems that Erik ten Hag He has come ready for it.
English media echo how the hand of the Dutch coach has been noticed since this first week of work with part of the squad. He is committed to bringing the attacking football that made him successful at Ajax and brought him here and this is a radical paradigm shift from his predecessors.
As explained by The Sun, these are the most important points of the new method Ten Hag:
- Horizontal or backward passes will not be tolerated and, in training, he will substitute players who do not pass forward
- Last season’s locker room cliques will cease to exist
- Trophies and salary are irrelevant in team selection. Training performance is what counts
- Young players will replace veterans if they impress in training
- Players must improve their physical condition and eradicate unacceptable body language
The truth is Ten Hag it does not have it very difficult to surpass its predecessors. The squad was unhappy with Solskjaer’s tactical level, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes even commented on it, and in the case of Ralf Rangnick they did not like the proposed game idea.
Although there are still large absences of international players, Ten Hag has already been able to start putting his ideas into practice with 15 players in Carrington, where he has made a very good impression on those present.
