'It was a tough season' - Erik ten Hag's speech to Manchester United players caught on camera

Erik ten Hag commended Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho for winning the Copa America with Argentina by making a speech during a team meeting at Carrington.

Martinez and Garnacho have returned to Manchester United as Copa America champions and the pair are set to play a key role in Ten Hag's side again during the new season.
