Manager Erik ten Hag stated on Friday that Manchester United's players must promote a culture of consistency at the Premier League team.

In their most recent league game, United bounced back from a disappointing 2-0 loss to Newcastle United with a 1-0 victory over Brentford, putting them three points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in fifth place with 53 points.

When questioned about the fervor his team displayed against Brentford, however, Ten Hag emphasized that it was crucial for the team to give their all in every game and not just when responding to defeats.

Before Saturday's home game against Everton, the Dutchman continued, "That has to be the standard, you have to do it, and that's the responsibility you have to deliver when playing for Manchester United."

"You must take responsibility. It concerns demands. We must establish standards. You must always adhere to cultural norms.

"You have to do it constantly and consistently if you want to be a player at the top, competing for trophies. It's our responsibility to bring that mindset.

United will take on a resurgent Everton on Saturday; they have gone four league games without losing, including draws against Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

Since Sean Dyche assumed leadership of the 16th-placed Merseyside club in January, they have significantly improved and have been able to escape the relegation zone as a result of their recent run of results.

Ten Hag lauded Dyche's contribution to the team. He declared, "He is obviously a manager doing a great job.

We must match his team's physical output because they are exceptionally physically fit.

Luke Shaw, a defender for United, won't play on Saturday, but Christian Eriksen, a midfielder from Denmark, will be back in the lineup, according to Ten Hag.

Due to an ankle injury he sustained in late January during United's 3-1 victory over Reading in the FA Cup fourth round as a result of a foul by Andy Carroll, Eriksen was given a three-month suspension.

Ten Hag said, "We have to see how (Shaw's) doing for the upcoming week.

Eriksen is back in training and will be on the team, which is good news.

We thought we had lost him for the entire season while he was away, but he worked incredibly well. The medical division performed admirably. For the remainder of the season, he is now accessible. We're pleased that he is ahead of schedule.
