JAKARTA - Former player Bastian Schweinsteiger assesses that Manchester United is now on the track towards improvement. The presence of Erik ten Hag as manager is considered the right step.

However, this German man said that the style of play shown by Manchester United is currently not standard.

"I think they have the right people in that position. But is that the way United want to play football? I don't think so," Schweinsteiger told BBC Sport.

According to Schweinsteiger, Manchester United's style of play when they won against Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend was a mode of survival. He believes, the club nicknamed the Red Devils will have a different style in the future.

"In the long term, Ten Hag definitely wants to have a team that plays a different kind of football. It will take time, but for sure he is the right person for the position," said the former Bayern Munich player.

Regarding United's performance when they beat Liverpool, Schweinsteiger said he couldn't say anything great. That's when compared to other teams, top European teams.

"I support United of course and am happy they won. But was it a great performance? In my opinion, if I compare it to other teams, top European teams, I would not say that," said Schweinsteiger.

In fact, according to him, Liverpool actually performed better than Bruno Fernandes and his friends. "They had more ball possession. However, United did one very important thing, and that was the right attitude and spirit in the team," he said.
