Erik ten Hag and Steve McClaren arrive at Man Utd training ground as new era begins

Erik ten Hag's Manchester United reign has officially begun after the Dutchman arrived at the club's Carrington training base for his first session of pre-season.

The Dutchman will know just how much work awaits him as he looks to restore the club to former glories after their worst season in their Premier League history. Ten Hag was actually in attendance for the final game of a miserable season against Crystal Palace away at Selhurst Park, ensuring he has a clear idea of what he needs to do improve upon.

There was also a familiar face alongside him at Carrington on Monday morning, as Steve McClaren returned to United for the first time in just over two decades, ready for life as assistant to Ten Hag. McClaren was part of Sir Alex Ferguson's backroom staff during the club's iconic treble-winning season in 1999.
