Although Ten Hag has seen progress with the pre-season signing following the midweek EFL Cup win against Nottingham Forest, he believes there is still more to come.
"I have some experience with him. We have to challenge him and if you challenge him he can adapt, adjust his game, that is what we have to do, definitely,"
he added.
"He has to be more variable, more dynamic, but also he needs his team-mates and his team-mates around him. But also [needs to know] how to use your team-mates.
"He has to work on that, but he is investing in that at the moment, and you see the progress. But still I think there is a lot of room for improvement."
