Man Utd players struggle with same training drill Erik ten Hag mastered at Ajax

Erik ten Hag has an incredibly difficult job at Manchester United.

The Dutchman arrived at Old Trafford on the back of the club’s worst points tally in Premier League history. As a result, the Red Devils finished sixth and failed to qualify for Champions League football.

And Ten Hag’s job has been made even more unenviable in the last few days after reports emerged that star man Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave.

The former Ajax boss has an incredibly important pre-season ahead of him as he attempts to get this underachieving Man Utd side playing his way.

Various training clips have emerged over the last week or so showing Ten Hag working hard to get his new squad into shape with a series of drills.

Ten Hag wants his sides to play fast, attacking football. Being confident and brave on the ball.

That much was clear as a clip emerged of a training drill on Tuesday showing the squad involved in a one-touch and move exercise.

However, it was clear Ten Hag wasn’t too impressed with what he was seeing.

In the clip, you can constantly hear him shouting “On the right foot…” with players seemingly struggling to grasp the concept of the drill. By the end, Ten Hag has seen enough and shouts “Making too many mistakes…”

Check out the clip below:

A clip of Ajax players under Ten Hag performing the same drill shows the clear difference. The Ajax drill is played with far more intensity with players not having to break stride to play passes with pace and accuracy.
