Maguire: Ten Hag transformed Man Utd; he's so demanding in everything

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire says manager Erik ten Hag has transformed the club since taking charge.

In total, Maguire has only played 10 times in the Premier League this term.

However, ahead of Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Newcastle - which could see Maguire lift the first major piece of silverware of his career - the former Hull City and Leicester defender praised the job being done by Ten Hag.

"His ideas are different to a lot of what we've been used to, I must say. He was a defender as well," he told TalkSPORT.

"This season, he has proven that it works and it has worked in the past as well.

"He has brought a philosophy and ideas on how he wants us to play. He'll probably tell you that there is still a lot of improvement that we need to do.

"He's so demanding in everything that he does and everything that he says.

"Whether it's on the training pitch or whether you're having a passing drill at the start and you miss a pass – he's on you straight away and that's the demands he sets. He wants high standards."
