Erik ten Hag tells Man United fans to expect the best from his team

Manchester United‘s fans should anticipate a “proactive” brand of football from the Red Devils next season, according to Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman, who was appointed as Ralf Rangnick’s permanent replacement earlier this year, is presently preparing for his first season in command at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag’s main goal for next term will be to steer Manchester United back into contention for a top-four finish after they missed out on a spot in the Champions League when they finished sixth last term.

Manchester United have been linked with a host of potential signings this summer but have so far only completed a deal to bring in full-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord

Ten Hag will likely be keen to further bolster his squad in the coming weeks before Manchester United kick off their Premier League campaign with a home clash against Brighton on the opening weekend of the season.

The Dutchman earned plenty of admirers for the way he set up his Ajax side prior to his move to Old Trafford, with Ten Hag having led them to back-to-back league titles in recent seasons.

Now, the new Manchester United boss has lifted the lid on what Red Devils fans can expect to see from his team next season as they get to work under their new manager.

Speaking to Manchester United’s official website about his footballing philosophy, Ten Hag said: “We want to play a proactive style of football – on the ball and off the ball.

That is, trying to do that has to be our intention and it’s now, firstly, the coaches bring it over to the team that we are, in every situation, proactive.

We are brave and willing to have the ball, to give each other options. But also off the ball, to get the pressing style is what we’re working for together.”

Ten Hag said that since moving to Old Trafford, he has already felt the support of the Manchester United supporters. Yes, I do believe they are truly loyal to this club, yearning for good times, and are very supportive of Manchester United, he continued. That’s encouraging, and it makes me more motivated.

In their first three games in the top division under Ten Hag, Manchester United—which hasn’t won the league crown since their last victory under Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013—will take on Brighton, Brentford, and Liverpool FC.
