Every word Erik ten Hag said in Manchester United press conference ahead of Aston Villa friendly

Erik ten Hag spoke with the media in the early hours of Friday morning (GMT) ahead of Manchester United vs Aston Villa.

United have made a perfect start to pre-season with a 4-0 win over Liverpool in Thailand being followed up with a 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory and then beating Crystal Palace 3-1 at the MCG.

Having travelled to Perth, Ten Hag's side's fourth and final fixture of the tour will see them come up against more Premier League opposition in Aston Villa.
