Erik ten Hag has praised Sir Alex Ferguson's "eye for creativity" as the Reds boss aims to emulate the title-winning manager at Manchester United.
The pair met for dinner ahead of United's Carabao Cup final win over Newcastle last month. While some aspects of their conversation will remain private, it is clear that Ten Hag and Ferguson already have a good relationship.
United have not won the Premier League since Ferguson left the club, with the Reds last securing the title in the 2012/13 campaign in his final season in charge. Although Ten Hag's side are increasingly unlikely to lift the trophy this term, the Dutchman still has the chance to win three honours this campaign.
