Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United era is officially underway after a group of players reported to Carrington for the first time of his maiden pre-season.
The Dutchman has been waiting in the wings to meet his players face-to-face, having been in situ since the end of last season. Ten Hag was in attendance for United’s final game of a dismal season, which saw them record their lowest ever Premier League points tally.
He was hoping to have a number of new arrivals through the door by the time testing got underway at their training base, but has endured a frustrating start to the window. But focus was able to shift on those already at his disposal, with a number conducting fitness tests on Monday ahead of sessions starting later in the week.
