Erik ten Hag has attempted to explain how he has tried to combine his philosophy with the Manchester United DNA, before responding to claims of dressing room unrest.
“I came here with my philosophy, based on possession, but also to combine it with the DNA of Man United, but also with the players and their character,” Ten Hag said. “The intention is clear, but the execution isn’t there. In the moment we’re in, with so many changes, we can’t line up the same game each time and we have to swap. We miss players in the back four and every time we have to adjust, which doesn’t help the routines.”
He added: “They are positive. They want to put this right and we know the standards here. We have to match them every day, we’ve had two big setbacks, but we’ll fight back. The dressing room is strong, the staff are strong and this manager is strong.
