Diogo Dalot reveals what Manchester United players think about Erik ten Hag arrival

Diogo Dalot thinks Erik ten Hag will bring 'very attractive football' to Manchester United.

Ten Hag was officially confirmed as United's next permanent manager last month and he's set to move to Manchester after winning the Eredivisie title with Ajax. Ten Hag joins United on a three-year contract with the option of an additional year.

The Dutchman will be faced with the biggest challenge of his career at United. The side, under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, have all-but mathematically failed to qualify for the Champions League this season and a major summer rebuild is required to transform their fortunes.

Dalot, speaking ahead of United's match against Brentford tonight (Monday), was asked about Ten Hag's imminent arrival. The full-back lavished the praise on the incoming United manager and he claimed every fan and player is 'excited' about his appointment.

"I don't think you need to see a lot to know that he is a great manager," Dalot told Sky Sports.

"What he's done with Ajax is something outstanding. He plays very attractive football, I think every fan of United is excited to have a manager like this, and we as the players are as well.

"In our heads, it's going to be clear who the manager will be next season and that's good because we go for our break in our heads knowing who to expect. Then we will have time in pre-season to work together, get our ideas right and start the new season."
