Immediately after the press conference, coach Erik Ten Hag immediately embarked on the “reconstruction” work of MU after a disastrous season. And on the first working day, the Dutch leader is said to have an important tactical meeting.

Coach Ten Hag has begun his adventure at Old Trafford

As noted by reporter Tyrone Marshall on the Manchester Evening News, coach Erik Ten Hag’s first working day at the stadium Old Trafford and Carrington training center was in full swing. The Dutch military leader, with a confident and fierce demeanor, quickly left an impression on MU’s staff.

Until officially taking office at Old Trafford, this is the first time coach Erik Ten Hag has been present at Old Trafford and Carrington. That’s also why he appointed Steve McClaren as his assistant, along with the right-hand man at Ajax, assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.

The Manchester Evening News compared, McClaren knew Old Trafford and Carrington in the palm of his hand. The 61-year-old British coach worked as an assistant to Sir Alex in the period 1999 – 2001. Besides, with decades of seniority in leading English clubs, McClaren used to come to Old Trafford many times in the role of the opponent’s coach.

A few fans with MU Football Director, John Murtough welcomed Coach Ten Hag and his assistant team. After visiting the facilities at the new team, the 52-year-old Dutch strategist gave an interview to MUTV channel.

Above all, what MU fans really care about is the afternoon tactical meeting. Coach Ten Hag and his assistants are said to have a preliminary assessment of the staff that he took over from Ralf Rangnick. And of course, after a disastrous season, there will be names that have to leave. This meeting also means who MU can keep and liquidate in the 2022 summer market.

The Dutch coach impressed the MU staff with confidence

Of course, these are only preliminary assessments of Coach Ten Hag’s first official day on the job, but everyone knows how important first impressions are. The future of stars like Pogba, Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Maguire as well as whether the contracts of Cavani, Matic, Mata, Lingard will be extended or not, this meeting will play a fundamental role.

Earlier, on Sunday (May 22), coach Ten Hag was present at Selhurst Park to attend the match MU against the home team Crystal Palace in the final round of the Premier League. With what happened on the closing day of the tournament, the Dutchman has the right to be disappointed with the new team. Anyway, the final round became safe for the “Red Devils” when they still had tickets to the Europa League, because West Ham lost to Brighton in the match at the same time.
