Erik ten Hag has kept his media duties to a minimum during Manchester United’s pre-season tour. There have been no post-match press conferences because his preference is to get on the team bus quickly and turn his attention to the next day’s training. In his mind, every second of planning counts.

But on Monday afternoon, after a morning session with his players at AAMI Park, the sports stadium next to Melbourne Cricket Ground, Ten Hag sat down to speak at length for the first time about his work at United. His answers were fuller than we have heard since he took charge, giving clear insight into his management style and plans for the club.
