Erik ten Hag prioritising two areas for improvement after Man Utd's opening fixtures

Erik ten Hag has got off to a strong start in pre-season but is demanding much more from his Manchester United stars.

The Dutchman has wasted no time in getting his message across as he looks to embed his philosophy with the Red Devils. Mass changes are required but the early signs are promising during the club's pre-season tour. Nevertheless Ten Hag has found more areas for his squad to focus on.

In recent sessions the former Ajax boss has placed an emphasis on conditioning and ball work, reports Sky Sports. The United players will need to be in peak physical condition if they are to enact the instructions of their manager on the pitch. Unlike the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer regime the team will also be more possession-based, rather than operating on the counter attack.
