Erik ten Hag's arrival as Manchester United manager came with the caveats of a project, a job that will take several years to fix. Yet the early signs - including the friendly win against Crystal Palace in Melbourne - are good, not least in attack.
Standards. Those have been plain for all to see from the first day he walked into Carrington and shook the hand of every staff member he encountered - whether that was the employee in the club shop or some of his star players.
Ten Hag's standards are notoriously high and Jadon Sancho learned quickly during the Thailand leg of this pre-season tour when the Dutchman took him to task over failing to pass to an overlapping full-back in a training drill.
