Speaking on the youth talent before tour, Ten Hag said: “What I want to see is that they learn but also they show themselves because they have to deserve a position in top football,
"You have to deserve your position. It means you have to deliver every day, that demands a certain style, a certain way of life that they have to adapt to, that they probably don’t know yet.”
Then, following the win against Melbourne Victory, the manager explained that he needs to assess each player before deciding what to do with them next term.

“I want to have an impression from all the players, and they get a chance to show what they can [do] and what they’re capable of, if they can contribute to Manchester United or maybe if a loan period is better,
"There is also other possibilities, but it is good that United has some talents,
"But also you see that you need improvement and development.”
