Erik Ten Hag Makes A Weird 'Duck Quack' During Training Sessions

Manchester United players could soon think they're going quackers during training, because Erik ten Hag is known to make duck noises when things don't go right.

Last week United confirmed that Ten Hag would become their permanent manager at the end of the season, once he was done with his latest campaign with Ajax.

The Dutchman's appointment has already excited many of the club's fans, with videos of his tactics, and the impact Donny van de Beek had whilst working with the 52-year-old, really increasing their levels of interest.

Whilst the club are likely to dip into the transfer window this summer, especially with several players set to leave the club, Ten Hag will be hoping to also improve the players already at Old Trafford through training.

In those sessions it's been revealed that United players could be hearing duck noises, according to Esbjerg fB defender Kevin Conboy, who played under Ten Hag when he was manager of Eredivisie side Utrecht.

"The way I would describe him is that it didn’t matter if you won 4-0 or if in your eyes you had a good game," Conboy told the Daily Star.

"He could say 'very good, but there are always things to improve," the 34-year-old told the Daily Star when explaining the new United boss' methods.

"His mantra was always that 'good is not good enough. It can always be better.' If we won 4-0, it could be 5-0, but in general, he just lived and breathed football.

"It was the same in every training exercise, even a simple passing drill, he would be over you all the time.

"You could have ten good passes and one that bounced a little bit and he would make a frog sound, almost like a duck's quack, like he was jumping as it had to be on the floor."

United's form this season makes it seem like Ten Hag will be making all sorts of noises if he makes them every time the team mess up in some way.

Their loss to Arsenal at the weekend all but ended the team's chances of finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League.

The defeat included some absolutely woeful moments of defending and the hilarity of their season, to rival fans, was summed up by the 'marking' by Alex Telles and Jadon Sancho during Bukayo Saka's penalty.

Certainly the new manager will have a lot of things to improve when he arrives at Old Trafford in the summer, but what will be his first change?
