When the Manchester United players headed to the Carrington briefing room for their first video analysis session with Erik ten Hag this summer, they would have immediately noticed the change.
The upstairs room at the training ground had been redesigned at a cost of around £200,000 on Ten Hag's say-so. United were looking at plans in 2023 to make changes to the room, but they were brought forward when the new manager requested alterations.
The seating area is now tiered, giving every player a clear view of the screen and Ten Hag and his coaches clear sightlines to every player. The audio and visual equipment has also been upgraded to state-of-the-art.
