Manchester United have a "calm excitement" about the forthcoming Premier League campaign after a positive pre-season, Tom Heaton has revealed.
The mood around United was understandably dour just a few months ago when their Premier League season came to a fittingly dire end with a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace. The one glimmer of hope was that new manager Erik ten Hag was in attendance at Selhurst Park, with the promise of a transformation to come.
While United remain a work in progress, especially as the club has been unable to strengthen all the positions Ten Hag wants to reinforce in the transfer market, they have certainly been moving in the right direction. It's clear that the Dutchman's ideas and instructions have already taken root within the squad as they have already played some exciting football in their galvanising pre-season tour.
