Only a late Aston Villa equaliser denied the Reds a flawless record in the four games in Thailand and Australia and, while it is still very early days in his reign, there are clear signs Ten Hag's methods are having a positive effect, particularly on the interplay going forwards.
With the entire Red Army eagerly anticipating the beginning of the 2022/23 campaign, two games come first next weekend - Atletico Madrid in Oslo on Saturday before a first sight of a full Old Trafford crowd for the manager, with Rayo Vallecano providing the opposition on Sunday.
Both games are live on the United App, MUTV and ManUtd.
