On Thursday (21st), Manchester United officially announced that Dutch manager Tannhägger will take charge of the team next season. Following this announcement, Tanhag made his first comments on team construction, emphasizing in an interview with the Dutch media that he will not adjust his soccer philosophy due to top stars such as C Luo, and will have the final decision-making power in the transfer market. It is reported that Tanhag and Manchester United has locked the six core of the future team building, and C Luo's name does not appear in the list.
After signing for Manchester United, on Friday (22nd), Tannhägger gave an in-depth interview to Dutch Loyalty about the team formation strategy. When asked if he could handle the likes of Crowe, Tanhag responded: I think so, but I will stick to my soccer philosophy and not make compromises. I will tell the players their tasks clearly, no matter which player, if they can't meet my requirements, they can't be recognized.
Tannhägger, 52, also said he will flex his muscles in the transfer market and demanded absolute decision-making power: I made this request to the club before signing. If the club didn't agree, I wouldn't have taken the job because I'm in charge of the team and the one who needs to be judged for results. I am not a dictator and will work with the team, but the right to make decisions on transfers is a condition I cannot give up.
