Manchester United's Erik ten Hag is determined to steer the club back on track after last season's disappointing performance, reveals Tom Heaton.

United's eighth-place finish last season was their worst in Premier League history, a fact that Heaton says every player and staff member is keen to prove was an anomaly.

Commenting on Ten Hag's reshuffled coaching team, Heaton added: "The manager has changed a few of the coaching staff, he's sort of realigned that, but he's the manager, he's in charge, he's taking us forward.
"There's no more thought about it from the players, because why would there be?
"The club extended his contract, we've got fresh staff here, there's a slightly new direction, that's all it is, really. The rest is down for us to deliver performances."
