Erik Ten Hag Brings In Strict Rules To Man United Players As 'Micro-Management' Era Begins

​Erik ten Hag has issued a set of strict rules to his Manchester United players ahead of the new season. 

​Ten Hag's micro-management has begun having introduced a set of rules as his team travel to Thailand and Australia on Friday for their pre-season tour. 

He's looking to bring a level of discipline at Man United following a terrible Premier League campaign last season, according to the ​Mirror. 

The Dutchman has told Man United's players that they will be dropped if they are late for training or team meetings, regardless of reputation.

They've also been told they are NOT allowed to drink alcohol during game weeks to ensure they are in peak physical condition for match day. 

The 52-year-old has also overhauled the menu at the club's training base. He is said to want the same chefs preparing meals, rather than them employing their own personal caterers. 

The menu at Carrington now features a lot more fish and vegetables. 

BMI (Body mass index) will be checked monthly and players should come directly to him rather than their agents if they have a complaint.

Ten Hag's meticulous approach is a bid to get the best out of his players ahead of the 2022/23 season. 

Man United finished in sixth place last season, 13 points adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham and a massive 35 points behind champions Manchester City.  

Ten Hag's rebuild is officially underway having snapped up Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord in a deal worth £14.7 million. 

The Red Devils continue to be linked with a move for Frenkie de Jong, with fresh reports suggesting Cristiano Ronaldo could be on his way out.

The 37-year-old reportedly wants Champions League football and is seeking a move away from Old Trafford, with Chelsea thought to be in the running to land the superstar forward.
