Erik ten Hag says his Manchester United players need to be more “nasty” and develop a more streetwise attitude.
Ten Hag wants his United side to play with more edge, but wants them to be smarter with it, after complaining they have picked up too many bookings.
United have accumulated 23 yellow cards already this season in the Premier League, with only Nottingham Forest and Fulham having amassed more. While Ten Hag wants his players to remain physical, he has urged them to be smarter when it comes to tackling opponents – starting with tomorrow night's trip to Everton.
