Erik Ten Hag paid tribute to Jimmy Murphy after a statue of the former Manchester United coach was unveiled at Old Trafford.
Murphy, who coached the Busby Babes, took over the reins at United following the 1958 Munich air tragedy, which claimed the lives of 23 people, including eight of Sir Matt Busby's players.
Murphy was not on the fatal flight because he was managing Wales, in addition to his United role, and was told by Sir Matt to stay behind and oversee a World Cup qualifier in Cardiff.
