Former Manager Sir Alex Ferguson Pinpointed Changes Erik Ten Hag Must Make To Fix Manchester United Problems

"It played an important part of a successful club to create the team spirit, because we have amazing individuals, as you can see, but we're not always playing as a team. We want players to want to come to Carrington and put on a red jersey. We know the talent is there. The style of football, which I'm sure he'll implement, needs time and to bring in the right characters, but create a team that is going to play for each other, play for the club and enjoy it. We need players to go out there with a smile on their face and, when you do that, everything else follows."

He added: "Ten Hag must address the issue of team spirit, with the former Ajax boss inheriting a fractured, divided dressing-room, with players pursuing personal agendas to the cost of the squad."

"Play with courage and play with enjoyment,” Fortune told Manchester United's official website.

“That's what we were told before games by Sir Alex - go and enjoy it. Really? Sixty to seventy thousand people and go and enjoy it? But that is what we did and every day in training was very hard.

"It was a competitive environment but an enjoyable environment. We had a great team spirit that won us trophies. When you go out into every single game, you know your teammates have got your back. It's very important to have that.”
