Antonio Conte has piled the pressure on Erik ten Hag just hours after the Dutchman was confirmed as Manchester United’s new manager.
Ten Hag’s appointment was officially announced by United on Thursday morning, with the current Ajax boss taking over from interim manager Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season. The 52-year-old becomes the club’s fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.
Ten Hag managed to beat Mauricio Pochettino to the United hot seat. Luis Enrique and Julen Lopetegui were also mentioned as potential candidates, but Ten Hag and Pochettino remained frontrunners throughout the process.
