Erik ten Hag acquires nickname behind the scenes after first week at Man Utd

Erik ten Hag has reportedly been described as the "New Sheriff" after completing his first week of work at Manchester United.

The Dutchman, 52, was appointed United's new manager in April - starting work in May - and is hoping to revive the club's stuttering team. They finished sixth in the Premier League this term, recording their lowest points total (58) since the 1989-90 campaign.

Just as worrying is United's lack of silverware in recent years. They haven't lifted a trophy since their 2-0 Europa League final victory against Ajax in May 2017 - finishing as runners-up in the Premier League (twice), FA Cup and Europa League since.
