Erik ten Hag has told his Manchester United players they must be “brave” if they are to have any chance of being successful again.
Ten Hag takes charge of his first United game on Tuesday, against arch rivals Liverpool, in Bangkok on the first game of their pre-season tour. Newly-appointed boss Ten Hag has told United's players what he expects from them and said they must show courage when they have the ball and take on board his philosophy.
“We want to play a proactive style of football – on the ball and off the ball,” said Ten Hag. “That is, trying to do that has to be our intentions and it’s now, firstly, the coaches bring it over to the team that we are, in every situation, proactive.
