Erik ten Hag talks about the previous atmosphere at United: It was a lot of chaos, the team lacked discipline

The taking over of the “reins” of Manchester United by the Dutch technician Erik ten Hag seems to have done the team quite well, as it is showing fantastic this season.

For the media today, the “tulip” technician showed the chaotic atmosphere before his arrival at “Old Trafford”, and pointed out the important role of a leader, that the Brazilian Casemiro has in the dressing room of the “devils”.

“The team lacked discipline and I don’t have to lie about that. The best players like rules, and not just on the court, so there are rules to be followed. Of course, when there are no rules or discipline, you get a mess.

This is not only in the football club, but also in every other industry. This is very clear, because I saw what was happening on the field. Casemiro is a leader, he is important for us. Not only in terms of the game and skills, but also because of the organization, the character, the culture. We are very happy to have signed it.

We were looking for players with character. Many footballers have skills, for example, they can run fast, but we have seen players with character, leadership qualities, responsible, stable. These are the players I was looking for after analyzing the team.

Casemiro didn’t surprise me. I knew what a great player he was. Just look at his profile, trophies won. This is not a coincidence. Like Rafa Varane, he won the Champions League five times. We have to do research and find those who will win, who are cooperative and humble in the dressing room and who take responsibility on the field”, said the Manchester United coach.
