Nathan Bishop has shared with us that Erik ten Hag has a desire for his goalkeepers to take a more active role in the games they play.

Bishop, who is now 22 years old, had a productive loan stint with Mansfield during the previous season, during which he helped his team advance to the League Two play-off final at Wembley Stadium. This past summer, Bishop made his way back to United, and he was a part of the pre-season tour that went to Thailand and Australia.

It was understood that United wanted Bishop to play in a higher division at his next club on loan, and that the goalkeeper had been in talks to join League One side Wycombe Wanderers in June. However, the proposed deal did not materialize in the end, and Wycombe Wanderers did not end up signing Bishop.

This has resulted in Bishop continuing to train with the first team while also being available to play for Mark Dempsey's U21s when they are needed. On Friday night, Bishop started for the U21s when they played West Ham in the Premier League 2 game. After the game, he reflected on his development and shared his thoughts with the team.

Bishop discussed the requirements that Ten Hag has set for his goalkeepers, and he revealed that he is open to the possibility of taking on another loan. After spending time with Mansfield, Bishop is eager for first-team playing time, and it is likely that he will depart United on loan in the month of January.

Carlo Ancelotti Post Atletico Madrid Press conference

Ancelotti is pleased beyond measure with the performance of his team, which has yet to suffer its first loss of the season.

Bishop shared his thoughts with the Manchester Evening News, saying, "Do you know what, Erik [Ten Hag] has come in and he has brought a philosophy [proactive]." "It's coming down from the first team when you see the way David is playing now, running out and getting onto the ball," the coach said.

"I'm learning from some of the best goalkeepers in the world, and having that opportunity in front of me and being able to learn from it is the most important thing." It's surreal to be able to train alongside some of the best players in the world, including some of the best defenders and goalkeepers, as well as some of the best coaches.

It's always nice to put what you've learned in training into practice in actual games, especially when you have teammates on the U21 team who are going through the same practice as you are.
