Ten Hag clarified that when looking for a player the team will not only look at their quality and technical skills but ut you also at their mental quality, that mental resilience.

He added that the latest auditions in the team of Malacia, Varane, Martínez, Casemiro, Eriksen and  Antony are examples of the approach the club was taking.

The Dutch manager noted that the acquisition of Casemiro and Varane was so important as they have experience in winning titles.
