'It'll take months': Ten Hag opens up on implementing his style at Man United

Speaking about how much time it might take for him to properly implement his style and philosophy into Man United, Erik ten Hag said: “It's more, it's physical, it's mental.

“It's also sustainability, especially. It's like a routine, a way of life and you have to bring it to every training in your system, as a squad and as an individual player.

“And when you had a lack of it in the last years, it's not something that you build or progress in a week or a month, now it's a system that has to be and a demand in nowadays top football.

“And it's quite clear City is the standard in that. There are more teams. But I think also we can deliver that, we have seen it against Liverpool and we have seen it against Arsenal but now we have to do it on a consistent basis, that is what we have to work for now.

“But it will not come overnight, it will also take more than weeks, it will take months.”

Ten Hag has only been in charge of United for a few months and was able to spend over £200m in the summer transfer window. But his playing style is widely different than the ones the players knew under the previous managers, which is why the Red Devils look to be far from a finished product.

The gaffer will just hope his side can scrape through wins as they build more chemistry as a unit and improve their performances.
