Erik ten Hag has vowed to stick to his guns despite Manchester United's players reportedly pining for a change in tactics following their humiliating 4-0 defeat to Brentford last weekend.
The Red Devils welcome old foes Liverpool to Old Trafford on Monday, with new manager Ten Hag under mounting pressure to deliver his first victory of the season - or at least avoid defeat. United's first two Premier League outings have gone down as embarrassing losses, firstly at home to Brighton and then at Brentford.
In the latter, Ten Hag's side were continuously torn apart by the Bees' high-intensity football, a style of play synonymous with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. But the stubborn Red Devils boss won't deviate from his plans to turn United into a front-foot team - even though reports from inside the dressing room suggest that his players would prefer a more pragmatic approach.
