Erik ten Hag makes promise to change Manchester United fitness levels

Erik ten Hag insists he will be demanding the 'highest standards' possible from Manchester United this summer ahead of his first season in charge of the club.

The Dutchman will take charge of his first United match on Tuesday when United face fierce rivals Liverpool in Bangkok with Ten Hag eager to set a strong example for his debut campaign. United have often been criticised for their poor fitness levels in recent years, and the new manager is eager to change that this summer.

“As always, the highest standards," Ten Hag told official club media. "You expect the max and, of course, there is still always room for improvement because we are in pre-season and we know that but we will play our best and demand the max from the team and the players every day, every training session and every match.”
