Erik ten Hag

“The players dictate the way you play. Especially players who score goals because they are extremely important for a team. You construct your team around them.”

“Winning the World Cup for your country is the highest you can be.”

“We want to play proactive, attacking football where it's possible.”

“I think every player wants to be at the World Cup and it's once in four years.”

“Maguire has an important role. He's the captain, he leads, he communicates with the manager, he motivates the team. He's the example on the training pitch.”

“It's the best feeling you can have, winning a trophy, and I have the luck in my career to win some and it's magnificent, especially for the fans.”

“There will always be tough times in every journey.”

“Everywhere where I was, every season, I got my targets.”

“I know Rashford can score, Hojlund can score, Garnacho can score, Bruno Fernandes can score, Scott McTominay can score.”

“In football it is eat or get eaten.”

“It is one of the most important factors to develop a good team, that you have the right players but also the right characters.”

“I think I have a clear idea about strategy. The way I want to play football but also in the way a top football club has to be structured.”

“You always have to think strategically.”

“You cannot win with 11 players.”

“At Manchester United, it is all about winning football games. It is not so complicated.”

“I know footballers are not robots, sometimes they have bad days.”

“I like to work with world-class players because I know they can make a difference to help you achieve your objectives.”

“I have to make choices around players who are not performing and pick the best team. My accountability is in favour of the club and in favour of the team.”
