Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag told a press conference that they already know what strategies they will follow in the friendly against Real Madrid because they have been planning it for months.

Manchester United will face Real Madrid in a Soccer Champions Tour friendly in the United States on Thursday at 02.30 CEST. The Dutch manager was asked about the match against the Spanish giants in the pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Wrexham.

The 53-year-old said the Red Devils are fully prepared and already know what strategies they will use because they have been preparing for the game for several months.

“We’ve been planning this over months, so we’ve known already for a long time how it has to look. One team will stay behind here, I will stay here as well, but also we bring a coach and a technical director, Darren Fletcher in.

“We bring some more in, also an analyst, some kit men stay behind to help the team, the Under-21s. Travis is the one who is in charge in the team. I will help him and support him. I don’t want to have a red line in our club. That means we want to have the principles and the rules, it has to go down to the bottom, how we want to play,” he concluded.
