Erik ten Hag is hardly famed for his disciplinarian approach, but the Manchester United manager's decision to make his players come in on their day off after a particularly humiliating defeat appears to be working.
Few could forget United's 4-0 thumping at the hands of Brentford back in August when the Red Devils were outrun by their west London counterparts by an astonishing 13.8km. In response, Ten Hag made his side come into their Carrington training base and run the extra 8.5 miles they were outrun by the day before.
On that memorable day in Brentford, United's collective running distance was 95.6km. What followed was a remarkable turnaround in form, with Ten Hag overseeing an impressive four-game winning run after the defeat by the Bees.
