One of Erik ten Hag's biggest achievements since arriving at Manchester United has been the change of mentality that he has overseen.
Accusations have been aimed at United players regarding their lack of desire to play for the shirt and questions regarding their training have also been levelled at them on numerous occasions since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. However in pre-season, Ten Hag set his stall out early and showed exactly what he expected from his players.
Speaking during the first few weeks of the Dutchman's reign, David de Gea explained how tough the former Ajax manager was making him and his teammates work. "I think the whole team is working very hard," the goalkeeper explained.
