Erik ten Hag's message to Manchester United players

Team philosophy. That's what Dutchman Erik ten Hag is trying to instill at Manchester United. And he wants the message to get through to his players, the sooner the better. So much so that, according to the British newspaper The Sun, he has already taken it upon himself to let them know.

The message was conveyed through an e-mail, in which he has personally addressed the entire Red Devil squad to lay the foundations of the future project of Manchester United. It will try to return to mimic the times in which Sir Alex Ferguson imposed his law, both in the Old Trafford dugout and by extension in the Premier League.

In fact, according to The Sun, the Dutchman would be, or at least he will try to be, a sort of reincarnation of the brilliant Scottish coach with whom United managed to reach the best period of its football history. And to achieve this goal, there is nothing better than a simple requirement, team philosophy; "No individual is more important than another".

No matter how many stars there are on the team, everyone will work at the same level. If not, anyone is welcome to leave says the source. Who also quotes Donny Van de Beek's comment on his previous manager at Ajax. "He has an obsession with football. He's going to be like Sir Alex Ferguson. He will know everything about his players," he acknowledges.

The value of ten Hag's message

The new manager wants United players to know that a miserable season last year does not make them bad players and that aside from those who have already made it clear they want out, they will all be given a clean slate during preseason.
