Quick tactical primer — what Ten Hag tends to do

He often prioritises structure and defensive discipline, asking players to press as a unit and keep compact lines when out of possession. On attack, he likes quick wide play and clean build-up from the back. That means full-backs and wingers are important for switching the point of attack. When a system fails, expect lineup tweaks rather than wholesale style changes.

How does that matter to you? If you read a transfer story about a winger or a versatile midfielder, think about how that player fits into Ten Hag’s pressing and build-up patterns. If a key player is injured or suspended, the tactical balance can shift fast.
