Ten Hag told MUTV, “There are many games to play. He needs time. Every player at a new club, not only at Manchester United or only when you come to the Premier League, everyone needs time.

“We have to be patient, and we have to bring him carefully [into the team], and then he will adjust. I am sure he will contribute a lot.”
