CHRIS WHEELER: Erik ten Hag is proving himself the meticulous remedy to Manchester United's managerial malaise… after predecessors proved too abrasive and too boring, his directness and attention to detail is already mending a divided squad

Erik ten Hag switches between two separate groups of Manchester United players training in the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok.

Steve McClaren is overseeing one of the rondos as the players try to keep possession of the ball, and Ten Hag's other assistant Mitchell van der Gaag the other.

Theirs are the voices we can hear most loudly while the ball is recycled as quickly as possibly to keep the players on their toes. Ten Hag observes intently, walking back and forth. United's new manager interjects only now and again, his distinctive Dutch accent piercing the humid night air, but when he does so everyone listens.
