Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, faces a crucial test as he seeks to build a strong working relationship with the club’s new leadership group. The success of this partnership will be pivotal to the team’s fortunes in the upcoming season.
Ten Hag has emphasized the importance of collaboration, stating, “I can’t do this on my own. Players, staff, leadership, I’m sure we will have even more success. It’s a new dynamic. We want to get more trophies and that is what we are aiming for.”
The manager was recently spotted in deep conversation with Sir Dave Brailsford, Jason Wilcox, and Dan Ashworth, Manchester United’s new sporting director, at the UCLA university campus. This meeting highlights the significance of building a strong bond between the coaching staff and the leadership group.

Stars hit the roof in Beverly Hills
The Manchester United players have been making the most of their downtime, relaxing at the rooftop pool of the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. The hotel, although not as close to the famous Rodeo Drive as some of the club’s previous tour bases, offers an impressive venue for the team to unwind.
Ten Hag gave his players the afternoon off on Thursday, allowing them to explore the local area. A group of British players, including Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay, Jonny Evans, and Tom Heaton, took advantage of the freedom to go on a shopping trip to Rodeo Drive.
One of the benefits of touring the US is the relative freedom the players have to move around without being mobbed by fans, which is often not the case in other parts of the world.
