Premier League season preview: Man UtdErik ten Hag once showed his ruthless nature by putting his foot down after one of Manchester United's youth teams were beaten by a perceivably weaker side, according to reports. The Dutchman has gained a reputation for ruling with an iron fist since taking charge of the Red Devils 12 months ago. His refusal to accept mediocrity was clear to see at one point last season when, according to The Athletic, he grew frustrated after a United youth team were beaten by inferior opposition. The result left Ten Hag wanting answers before he was told that the other team's players were older and more experienced than their United counterparts. He has already demonstrated his commitment to bringing through young players by introducing the likes of Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo to the first-team picture at United.
