The Sun report that Ten Hag is taking no chances and will put an emphasis on building his squad’s stamina.
Pre-season testing is due to begin on July 3, for players who were not with their national team squads, as United look to build on their third place Premier League finish.
A source told the newspaper: “Last summer Erik had players doing press-ups and other fitness forfeits to try and build spirit.
“This time it sounds like some might actually have their spirits broken!”
The Red Devils will begin their pre-season match sharpness preparation with a friendly against Leeds in Oslo on July 12.
This is followed by a match against Lyon in Edinburgh before they head to the USA.
Ten Hag’s side will take on Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund before rounding off their pre-season in Dublin against Athletic Bilbao on August 6.
