Football skills are one thing, but personality is another thing, First, everyone needs to fit into the team, but you need also the emotional types, especially I think here at United. We strive for perfection, it's where we strive for determination and resilience." He added:"You need such types and I think we added some and you can see the effect. I think we are well co-operating with our fans, there is a connection, and there's a vibe."Ten Hag claimed that he wants Manchester United to return to their illustrious stature and they are working towards the same. He said:"We need to keep that going. What is in the past is history, we need to look in the future, we have to build our future, together with the fans and we are in that process. My aim is to win games first, secondly, to restore Man United where they belong. That's at the top of football. That's what we are working for every day, the best we can."The Red Devils will next face Real Sociedad in the UEFA Europa League on November 3.
