Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has stressed the importance of squad depth and player attitude as the club navigates the upcoming season.
Following their opening Premier League victory over Fulham, where Joshua Zirkzee scored a late winner, Ten Hag addressed the omission of Jadon Sancho from the matchday squad.
The 24-year-old, who recently returned from a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, has faced challenges in regaining Ten Hag’s trust.
While Sancho participated in the Community Shield match against Manchester City, his future involvement in the team remains uncertain.
Ten Hag indicated that the decision will depend on the player’s performance and the team’s needs.
The Dutch manager expressed his desire to have a strong squad depth, emphasizing that not everyone can be selected for every match.
He highlighted the competitive nature of the season and the importance of a positive attitude from all players, even when facing disappointment.
Ten Hag emphasized the collective nature of success, stating that the team’s success depends on the contributions of every individual in the squad.
He demanded a high level of motivation and commitment from all players, emphasizing the team’s priority over individual interests.
