Erik ten Hag discusses Manchester United’s plans for World Cup break


When speaking to club reporter Adam Marshall about our plans for the winter break, Ten Hag looked forward to the prospect of working with his players who won’t be at the World Cup.

“It’s a strange season,” said Erik. “It’s not like usual as we have a World Cup but also players will stay behind. We have to train them during those six weeks and we have to give them the right programme so they stay in the right fitness levels, but also they stay in the right shape and also in the team style.

“We made a programme to do that, as optimum as possible. So, we will train here [at Carrington] for one week, or eight or nine days, and then we will have a short break. Then we will train and go to Spain for a training camp for one week. 

“There, we can train proper. We have good opponents over there so we can get the game practice in as well. Then we will return, ready for the second stage of the season, I would say, but a long stage, longer than usual.”
