Man Utd players face ‘strict dress code if perfectionist’ Erik ten Hag beats Pochettino | Football | Sport

“You would stand with him every now and then for three hours on the training ground and do tactics work. As a player, you like to question that. But then there are moments in the game where you notice that the things you worked on came off. That was unique.

“I improved as a player so much because I learned so much about football under him. No other trainer before or after has made me think about football in that way. I still exchange ideas with him from time to time and that also shows a strong personality.

“Success hasn’t gone to his head. I don’t know how much he worked with Pep Guardiola but, for sure, they have an intense love for football and they would have spoken about it a lot because they see things the same way.”
