Perhaps just as well. Ten Hag told Match of the Day United are "in a good direction". He said it twice. The Ineos Compass may have to update its 'words they don't like' and add 'jargon'.

Ten Hag said United were "in the right direction" at the conclusion of last season, United's worst in the league in 34 years and worst Champions League campaign in 18 years.
