Erik ten Hag admits Manchester United players dictate his tactical philosophy at the club, despite confessing he prefers to play 'attacking and proactive' football.
Ten Hag has enjoyed an impressive first season as United manager, with his side in a strong position to secure a third-place Premier League finish and the Champions League qualification that comes with it.
He also guided the Red Devils to their first piece of silverware since 2017 last month, when they saw off Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
During that final, Ten Hag's men enjoyed just 38 per cent possession of the ball as they sat back and frustrated Newcastle, who failed to break down their resilient defence on the day.
