Some of
@ManUtd corporate guests have had to be moved today to accommodate Erik ten Hag’s demand for the players to meet at Old Trafford and have their pre-match meal in the stadium. Can't do it for every game due to pre-sales but significant win for the new manager.
Erik ten Hag in prog: "In football, is not possible to achieve perfection in every game but total effort is minimum requirement. Name on badge says it all: Manchester United. Everyone must be on same team, working together, playing for their team-mates, fans + badge on the shirt"
🗞 The #mufc players’ early arrival to Old Trafford is at Erik ten Hag’s request. They had a team meal in a stadium suite. [

Erik ten Hag: "At the end of the day, if you cannot win in a good way or an entertaining way, you still have to win. That is the mentality and the attitude that we have to bring in — Of course, there will be games where you will not play well – but you still have to win." #mulive

Erik ten Hag asked if he understood #mufc's responsibility to attack: "You are talking like a Dutchman! They always want to play brilliant football! But that's why I'm here: I like it that you want to win, you want to win in a certain way; proactive, brave, adventure." #mulive
🗞 #mufc have had an €8/9 million bid for Marco Arnautovic rejected by Bologna. Erik ten Hag knows Arnautovic well from his time at Twente between 2006 and 2009. [

As a 13-year old he got to learn from one of football's greats, Johan Cruyff 👇

Jaap Stam: "Lisandro Martínez is extremely good on the ball, is not very tall but very good in the air, knows how to take the initiative by playing out from the back and can shift into midfield to create an extra man. He is what Erik ten Hag and us Dutch people love."
https://t.co/4athQHy1sAMassive statement by Erik Ten Hag not to start Ronaldo… and I back it.
Even if this result goes badly (likely) you can’t have a player refusing to travel, demanding to leave and then start him first game imo.
Strong management. 🤝
🗣 "There's a lot of PR from United. They're training properly? Praise the lord that's what you're supposed to do."
Roy Keane says Erik ten Hag's biggest challenge is changing the culture at Manchester United

🗞 Erik ten Hag is targeting Marko Arnautovic as a possible signing as he seeks to strengthen #mufc's attacking options. The fee would be in the region of £10m. [
@JamieJackson___]
Erik ten Hag a changé la préparation d'avant-match. Les joueurs n'ont pas séjourné à l'hôtel Lowry, comme ils le font habituellement avant les matchs de championnat à domicile, et le groupe est arrivé à Old Trafford avant 11H. [
