Erik ten Hag ended his time as Ajax manager on a high, leading them to their third successive Eredivisie ahead of his Manchester United switch this summer.
The Dutchman's campaign in Holland and the Reds' showing in the Premier League has been chalk and cheese this season. Ralf Rangnick has failed to steer United into a commanding position in what has proved to be a below-average battle for the top four.
As a result of United's defeat to Brighton last week and West Ham's win — still with a game in hand — their hopes of the Europa League are under threat from the Hammers as the gap between the two clubs stands at just three points. David Moyes has the advantage with three games remaining as his team currently have a greater goal difference, boasting a 10-goal cushion ahead of United's final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
