Erik Ten Hag Orders Specific Grass Measurements And Strict Eating Plan Ahead Of New Season

United players have been putting the work in during the off season in order to keep themselves in good shape ahead of the new season. But now, they are about to get their first taste of being coached by Ten Hag and his staff.

It is also believed that the Dutchman will be looking at the overall fitness of his players during the first two days of training but will incorporate both fitness and passing into his drills instead of just purely fitness based exercises. 

Ten Hag will hope to emulate what Sir Alex Ferguson achieved at the club, and it looks like he is about to implement a rule that was first introduced by Ferguson. 

Ever since Ferguson retired, the tradition of the players eating together has slowly faded away, with players said to be eating in the staff restaurant whenever they wanted, with some players even heading home or to the gym directly after training. 

From now on, it is believed that Ten Hag and his backroom staff will be amongst the players during mealtimes. 

The Red Devils are also believed to be interested in Ajax winger Antony and Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen who is currently a free agent after his short term deal with Brentford ended at the end of last season.

Will Ten Hag be a success at the theatre of dreams? Only time will tell.
