Ajax star's Erik ten Hag verdict shows why he'd be perfect for Manchester United

Ajax starlet Antony has provided Manchester United's players with an insight into what they could expect from Erik ten Hag if he was to land the managerial position at Old Trafford.

As revealed by the Manchester Evening News , Ten Hag is United's preferred candidate to become the club's next permanent manager ahead of the start of next season. Along with Mauricio Pochettino of Paris Saint-Germain, the Dutchman has been closely linked with the job for several months and is proving to be a popular choice amongst the fans.

The 52-year-old, who took over at the Johan Cruyff Arena in December 2017, has overseen a terrific job at the Dutch giants, leading them to two domestic league titles, as well as making them a force to be reckoned with in Europe. They reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019 and were just seconds away from reaching the final against Liverpool.
