More than 150,000 Australians are preparing to turn the MCG into a sea of red as one of the biggest sporting clubs in the world, Manchester United, arrives in Melbourne for two matches on the Australian leg of their 2022 pre-season tour.
Victorian Sports Minister Steve Dimopoulos with Manchester United star Marcus Rashford and coach Erik ten Hag.“It’s a different opposition and it’s always good to play against a different culture, and it will be a different approach,” said ten Hag on Thursday. “We’re looking forward to this game. [It’s] going to be a good test.”“It’s not often that we get the opportunity to play events, players and teams from Australia. So, you know, it’s always tough because it’s unexpected for us,” he said.
“In every part of the team, I want productivity. And that’s the most important [part], that players take initiative on the ball and off the ball in offence and defence,” said the Dutch coach, who was appointed at the end of last season.“Manchester United is a huge potential, really good players and you have experienced players, but also a lot of young guys, young boys, who have a lot of potential, now to get the potential out ... we have to work really hard.
