Manchester United appointed Erik ten Hag for his met meticulous approach to just about every facet of elite level football management - but even they may have been surprised by his latest request.
The Dutchman is famed for his possession-focused, slick passing football philosophy. It is what made his Ajax team so successful, with the new Red Devils manager overseeing three Eredivisie title victories during his reign in Amsterdam.
Ten Hag is keen on implementing a similar style at Old Trafford next season, something the United fanbase are incredibly excited about given some of the dour football that has been on show at the Theatre of Dreams in recent years.
