Erik ten Hag Promises to Return Man United to its Former Glory.

Erik ten Hag has pledged to restore ‘happy times’ to Man United by implementing a ‘proactive’ playing style.

United experienced a terrible season last year, ending with the fewest points in the Premier League and failing to qualify for the Champions League.

Since winning the Europa League under Jose Mourinho in 2017, the Red Devils have gone forty years without a championship.

The terrible 2021-22 season, coupled with fans’ rage and fury at the Glazer ownership, has darkened the tone at Old Trafford, and fans are especially irritated by the lack of transfer activity thus far this summer.

Dutch retreated The signing of Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord for £14.6 million is a disappointing return at a time when the club is supposed to be undergoing a big rebuild.

United have been shaken by Cristiano Ronaldo’s willingness to go if a proper offer is made for him. But Ten Hag made no mention of the wantaway Portuguese star in the first portion of his talk with club media.

Despite the team’s recent struggles, Ten Hag insists that the fans remain optimistic and that those he met during his stay in England were ‘very supportive’ of the club.

Ten Hag remarked, “I do believe they are very devoted to this team, anticipating good days, and are incredibly supportive of Manchester United.” It’s encouraging to see that, and it motivates me more.

Ten Hag, who has arrived in Bangkok with a 31-man squad for United’s preseason trip, has emphasized that his squad would be aggressive in both attack and defense.

United have lacked a distinct playing style for a number of years, with interim manager Ralf Rangnick failing to implement his renowned gegenpressing during his brief tenure with the club.

Ten Hag stated, “We aim to play a proactive style of football, both on and off the ball.”

‘That is, attempting to do so must be our goal, and it is now the coaches’ responsibility to convey to the players that we are always proactive. We are courageous and prepared to share the ball in order to provide each other with possibilities. But even off the ball, we are collaborating to achieve a pressing style.’

It is my responsibility to build and improve the team. You can do it in several or multiple methods, but the underlying motivation is a philosophy.

Then, you construct it and distribute its rules and principles to its constituents.

But also in the roles of individuals, you give them coaching advise; ultimately, it’s about team results and improved team performance, so you give them guidance on how to operate as a team.

United’s first game under Ten Hag will be Tuesday’s preseason friendly against Liverpool in Bangkok.

In the club’s first preseason tour since 2019 the squad will play Melbourne Victory, Crystal Palace, and Aston Villa in Australia.

In training footage, Ten Hag is heard warning the players that they are making “too many mistakes,” but he is also seen supporting his young players.

‘Of course, I want to infuse my team with energy, but I must say that the players do exceptionally well,’ he remarked.
