Manchester United‘s fans should anticipate a “proactive” brand of football from the Red Devils next season, according to Erik ten Hag.
The Dutchman, who was appointed as Ralf Rangnick’s permanent replacement earlier this year, is presently preparing for his first season in command at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag’s main goal for next term will be to steer Manchester United back into contention for a top-four finish after they missed out on a spot in the Champions League when they finished sixth last term.
Manchester United have been linked with a host of potential signings this summer but have so far only completed a deal to bring in full-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord
Ten Hag will likely be keen to further bolster his squad in the coming weeks before Manchester United kick off their Premier League campaign with a home clash against Brighton on the opening weekend of the season.
The Dutchman earned plenty of admirers for the way he set up his Ajax side prior to his move to Old Trafford, with Ten Hag having led them to back-to-back league titles in recent seasons.
Now, the new Manchester United boss has lifted the lid on what Red Devils fans can expect to see from his team next season as they get to work under their new manager.
Speaking to Manchester United’s official website about his footballing philosophy, Ten Hag said: “We want to play a proactive style of football – on the ball and off the ball.
