Luke Shaw has outlined how Erik ten Hag's ruthless streak has instilled a discipline into the Manchester United squad previously unseen during the defender's nine years with the club.
The Dutchman has overseen a seismic and rapid improvement at United, bouncing back from a false start of consecutive defeats to cement their place in the top-four and progress into the latter stages of both domestic and European cups. On Sunday, a first chance at silverware comes in the form of the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle.
Ten Hag's short but encouraging tenure has been bookmarked by a number of ruthless acts of discipline, with top-scorer and star striker Marcus Rashford benched against Wolves for turning up late to a meeting while Cristiano Ronaldo was axed altogether after his infamous interview with Piers Morgan.
