Erik ten Hag sets high standards at MU, including two strict rules that any player who violates is severely punished.

The Dutch captain is famous for being strict and has high requirements for discipline since he arrived at Old Trafford to lead MU in the summer of 2022.

Erik ten Hag had an extremely difficult second season, but he is known to have brought a more orderly, disciplined MU.

In total, Erik ten Hag proposed 83 principles requiring MU stars to follow. This made some feel dissatisfied and uncomfortable, and there were heated ‘fights’ that even Ronaldo had to ‘turn on’, let alone Jadon Sancho recently,…

In McTominay’s eyes, what Erik ten Hag has been doing is to bring the best to the Red Devils and he supports that.

The midfielder also revealed that among the rules, MU players are forbidden to violate two most important things: time and clothing, otherwise they will be severely punished by the captain. Both Garnacho and Rashford were eliminated from the match because they were late for a team meeting.

“ Erik ten Hag is very strict. He sets high standards, requiring the entire MU team to comply, which I think is great.

That’s the right thing to do, especially when you play for a club like MU. We must all act appropriately and professionally in everything.

He was very particular about time, important in every way, requiring everyone to wear the same uniform and clothes.

McTominay is not a regular starter, was once wanted to be sold by Erik ten Hag, but still supports the rigor of the Dutch coach’s efforts to rebuild the Red Devils.

All of these things contribute to creating a better MU, making no one have too big an ego, everyone is united and moving in the right direction .

In a difficult campaign for the team, McTominay is currently the player who scored the most goals for MU in the Premier League this season, 5 goals in 18 matches.

According to the English midfielder, regardless of whether he is a starter or has to sit on the bench, everyone must aim for the common good, there is no room for selfishness:

“ Everyone wants to compete. Therefore, when given an opportunity, you need to take it. At MU, you always have to prove yourself, otherwise they will go out and find someone better. You have to prove you can help the team and show your value through every training session.”

MU will return to play this Sunday, in the match against Newport County in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
