David de Gea is hoping that Erik ten Hag will bring an exciting style of football and positive energy to Manchester United.
Ten Hag has taken over the reins from interim boss Ralf Rangnick at United and now has just over two weeks to prepare before he welcomes his first group of players back to Carrington for pre-season. Those stars who are currently on international duty will arrive at a later date.
The Dutchman has a huge task on his hands to turn around the fortunes of a squad that had a dreadful campaign last term, registering the club's lowest ever Premier League points tally with just 58. De Gea has outlined what he wants Ten Hag to instill in the team, but also made it clear what the players must do for him in return.

"We are all very excited for the new manager," De Gea told United's in-house media. "I think need to be more positive about next season and bring good energy from the beginning.
"Hopefully, the coach will bring a good style of football and good energy to the team. For sure it's going to be a better season.
"It's been a difficult season I mean in the way we work with the Covid situation we couldn't travel so just being able to travel and be on the tour again and have the whole team together and prepare in a proper pre-season, I think it's going to be very good. Good for the team, good for the club and good for the fans as well.
"Yes thank you very much to all of them [supporters] and to the fans it's incredible to see them all the time there supporting the team even in the difficult days. I think we have one of the best fans in the world so thank you very much for the sport and hopefully next season is going to be much better.
"So be positive and all together. We are going to improve, so thank you."
