There are two games to go and another city to tick off but we will leave this tour with a higher opinion of Erik ten Hag.
Having had the privilege to observe Ten Hag in training and spend the best part of half-an-hour with him in a setting devoid of camera lenses and lights, it is impossible not to be impressed by him.
Authority has been restored to the United manager's role and Ten Hag is a disciplinarian. We knew that while researching him prior to his appointment and it has been evident in Bangkok and Melbourne. He is as concise a talker with the players as he is with journalists.
