Erik ten Hag has already made a significant impact since his appointment at Manchester United - but the Dutchman wasn't everybody's first choice for the job.
Prior to his messy exit, Cristiano Ronaldo had his own ideas on who should succeed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. It was outlined at the time that Luis Enrique was Ronaldo's pick to replace Solskjaer after the Old Trafford hierarchy made the difficult decision to dispense with the Norwegian's services back in November 2021.
The former Barcelona chief didn't get the call back then, with United instead opting to install Ralf Rangnick as an interim boss before swooping for Ten Hag back in the summer. However, Enrique is now in pole position to finally land a big Premier League job in the coming months.
