Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has instilled discipline at the club this season.

That is according to backup goalkeeper Tom Heaton, who started in the League Cup quarter final win over Charlton Athletic this week.

The Red Devils secured passage into the semi finals with a 3-0 success at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

"Everyone has a different view on it, that would be fair. My personal view is that I think that really does make a difference," Heaton stated post-game to reporters about discipline.

"When there is a consequence to players, a discipline, you know not to cross the line, if you do you'll be out. I think Marcus's response in that game [vs Wolves] was absolutely incredible. That's the sort of thing it generates when it's all moving in that direction. So for me yes it does translate to the pitch.

"He has brought clear messaging, clear lines of what's acceptable and what's not. Responsibility on everyone, the professional side of it, and when you cross it he's there to put you back in your place.

"When results are improving and everything is moving forward a little bit more, everyone is on the bandwagon and pushing for that and wanting that. So that's been a key feature, his strength in what's acceptable and what's not acceptable and carrying that through."
