Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has clarified the expectations set upon him by the club, emphasizing that his primary objective is to secure victories rather than to replicate the playing style he was known for at Ajax. In a statement to @viaplaysportnl, ten Hag expressed that while the club anticipates him to build a project similar to what he achieved with the Dutch team, the focus at United is on winning matches with an adventurous approach.
Since taking the reins at Manchester United, ten Hag has been tasked with turning around the fortunes of the storied English club. His tenure at Ajax was marked by a distinctive style of play that garnered widespread acclaim, but at United, the emphasis is on adapting his methods to the demands of the Premier League and delivering success on the pitch.
The Dutch manager has already begun implementing his vision at Manchester United, aiming to blend the adventurous spirit he fostered at Ajax with the winning mentality that is a hallmark of the Red Devils. As the season progresses, fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see how ten Hag’s philosophy translates into results for Manchester United.
