Victor Lindelof has explained that Erik ten Hag wants his Manchester United side to dominate games with the ball.
United defeated Everton 2-1 in the Premier League on Sunday night thanks to goals from Antony and Cristiano Ronaldo. Everton took an early in the match through Alex Iwobi, but United responded well to ensure they were leading at half-time.
Although Everton searched for an equaliser in the latter stages of the game, United defended with character and David de Gea produced a wonderful save with just minutes remaining on the clock to maintain the one-goal advantage.

It was a well-deserved three points for United and Lindelof admitted that it had been 'tough' at Goodison Park after the game.
"Always a tough place to come to, they had a good start and we showed great character to get back into the game," Lindelof told MUTV. "Especially in the first half, we played some very good football. They made it tough for us in the second half.
"But I think we showed great character to get the three points. To have a tough game in Europe and come here, and get the three points, is massive for us. It was hard [last 15 minutes], they have some good players and they are a big threat from corners.
"We concentrated and managed to see it through. We want to keep the ball, we want to play football and dominate games with the ball. We showed that a few times in the first half, but we could have kept it more in the second half.
"Everton played well and put some pressure on us - sometimes it's about getting the three points. I'm very happy for him [Ronaldo], his numbers speak for themselves. To come in, to perform and score goals at his age is just remarkable. A fantastic football player."
