A relaxed Erik ten Hag speaks to Sky Sports. “Of course we are ready … we are very excited for the new season … we want to go forward … we have a strong belief we can go forward … we developed young players … they are more mature … they really contribute … it fits the DNA of Manchester United … proactive, dynamic, speed … we worked a lot on [4-2-2-2] last season … it fits very good for us … always you have to do things better … we improved in the last games of last season and pre-season … I am happy with the process we are now in … [Mazraoui] is quick, good agility, and can contribute to your build-up and attacking game … he can go forward and is quite good on the ball … we can’t stand still [on transfers] … it depends what happens in the market … but I am happy with the squad … I am quite confident for this season … there is a lot of communication [with the new sporting directors] so we are all on one page and on board … it feels good … a good vibe in the club as well as the team … a good start is important … a good foundation for the rest of the season … not everything will be 100 percent but we must get a result, get a win.”
Manchester United give a full debut to their new right-back Noussair Mazraoui. The club’s other available summer signings, Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee, are on the bench.
