Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim has taken a leaf out of Pep Guardiola's book by creating a leadership group to maintain discipline within his squad.
Man City manager Guardiola has utilised this strategy for several years, entrusting a select group of senior players with the task of handling minor disciplinary issues.
Amorim has now implemented a similar system at United, with captain Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Tom Heaton and given the responsibility of keeping the rest of the team in check.
"We have a leadership group now," Amorim revealed. "It's not just Bruno. It's not just Harry. It's six guys. They are responsible for the group.
"There are some things that in the last year I had to deal with and I said to them this season, you deal with that. Small issues are with you guys. You're responsible.
"All these small changes, but I think it's helping the group. We have Bruno, we have Harry, Licha [Martinez], Diogo, Tom and Nous.
"So it's not just the oldest ones. Nous is in the group because he's a character that I like and I try to understand the dynamic of the group I try to reach every space. They are the guys responsible for keeping everyone in line.
"I feel we're more organised now. We're so much better. What we eat, the way we behave on tour, on the pitch, the rules.
"I know they're not kids and I don't treat the players like kids. But I think these small rules can help a group to be strong. We have rules, and the rules are not to treat the players as babies.
"I treat them as men, but they have rules now and that can change the way you train. If you don't train in the right way, I have footage to show you - and I will show you in front of everybody.
"So I'm always on top. But in one sense I don't expect or need to do anything, because they will push each other. But if you train badly one time, I will show you the image. I will not speak with you, just speak. I will show everything."
