Erik ten Hag signed a one-year contract extension at Old Trafford after leading Manchester United to FA Cup glory
Erik ten Hag must showcase an exciting brand of football to warrant a long-term future at Manchester United. Since arriving at Old Trafford in July 2022, the Dutchman has struggled to lift supporters from their seats, despite enjoying such an attack-minded approach at his previous clubs.
"I looked at almost every training back then, and I took a lot of methodical lessons on how to transfer his philosophy to the pitch. I want to have possession and hurt the opponent." Speaking to Ajax TV during his time at the Johan Cruyff Arena, Ten Hag was quizzed on being an 'extremely attack-minded coach'. He replied: "No, because there's moments and situations where I coach differently and let my team play differently. It has to fit the DNA of Ajax. It might be different at another club, but even Ajax have to master different strategies in order to be successful.
"And I could have gone into projects with much better conditions, with much better structures but I choose this: Man United. I feel this is my club. And I want to go for this challenge, although I knew this is very tough, this is very hard.
