Erik ten Hag is taking Manchester United back to the future - by using Sir Alex Ferguson ’s blueprint to bring the glory days back to Old Trafford.
Ten Hag has revealed how he’s tried to invoke the spirit of Ferguson during the early months of his reign as he looks to put some devilment back into a team that had become a soft touch. In an interview in his homeland, the Dutchman namechecked United legends like Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, David Beckham and Paul Scholes as he outlined his plan to make the Reds great again.
And although Ten Hag admitted that United cannot hope to challenge rivals Manchester City and Liverpool this season, he insists that a top-four finish would complete the first part of his grand plan. Ten Hag said: “ Manchester United didn't exactly have the fear factor last season.
