Ajax players underline Erik ten Hag obsession that will become clear to Man Utd stars

Erik ten Hag will demand his Manchester United players cut out the sloppiness which afflicted them last season as he ushers in a new era at Old Trafford.

The Dutchman, 52, joins the Red Devils after a hugely-successful spell in his homeland managing Ajax. During four-and-a-half years at the helm, he led the Amsterdam giants to three Eredivisie titles, two Dutch cups and the Champions League semi-finals in 2019.

Ten Hag forged a reputation for playing attractive, high-intensity football which requires his players to be in peak mental and physical condition. As exclusively reported by Mirror Sport, he has ordered many of the players who bitterly underperformed last campaign to return from their holidays early and begin a rigorous pre-season training regime.
