What does Erik ten Hag expect from his Man Utd players?

Erik’s footballing philosophy has been much examined since it was confirmed last month that he would replace Ralf Rangnick in the United hotseat.

The 52-year-old’s penchant for attacking, front-foot football is well known following his trophy-laden spell with Ajax, who he led to the Champions League semi-finals in 2019.

But he also described his side in Amsterdam as a ‘fighting machine’ and wants those ethics to be reflected at United too.

“Always. Everywhere I was in my career, I have high demands on my players,” he added.
