The ex-FC Utrecht boss took an official tour of the Aon Training Complex earlier this week and had his first press conference on Monday afternoon.

And he has already warned his players of his brutal work ethic and preparation plans ahead of the new campaign.

Ten Hag told the club website: “A manager is 24/7.

“You live for football and you want to prepare for a season and if you need to prepare a team from game to game.
