Ajax captain Blind warns Man Utd players of 'control freak' Ten Hag

Ajax captain Daley Blind says Manchester United's players can expect manager Erik ten Hag to demand loyalty and a disciplined approach.

Blind spent four seasons with United before returning to Ajax in 2018.

“A manager who loves to play attacking football, which is what Man United stands for, I think," Blind told United Daily.

“A manager who knows what he wants. To keep everyone on board and with the same direction to get that winning mentality and winning trophies.

“In Ajax, he knows that everyone in the club is important and everyone needs to be involved to get to that winning mentality. He wants to keep everything close, and I think he is also a control freak.

“He wants to be on top of everything."
