Erik ten Hag spent five days developing a detailed plan for his first season as Manchester United manager and has already told staff exactly what he expects from them, according to his new assistant Steve McClaren.
Roles were reversed when Ten Hag was McClaren’s assistant at FC Twente a decade ago in a successful spell which brought the Dutch league title. Now McLaren returns to Old Trafford to work for Ten Hag, having previously been assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson during the club’s famous treble-winning season in 1999.
