According to The Sun, Ten Haach wants to meet with the team’s nutritionist and condition manager to conduct a personal interview.
According to the media, “Ten Haach pays close attention to details and even sets the length of the lawn for the stadium. According to a Manchester United insider, Ten Haach has his own firm style and is like a corps commander who commands an army.”
On the other hand, manager Ten Haach, who conducted an interview with Manchester United’s official channel on the 25th, said, “I need time to relax and replenish my energy. But the manager’s job is done 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We play once every three days. I have to live for football because it is going to be. I have to sleep for football and live for football.” /reccos23@osen.co.kr
