Erik ten Hag has hailed Sir Alex Ferguson's "eye for creativity" as he looks to emulate the title-winning manager at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag and Ferguson met for dinner in February ahead of United's Carabao Cup final against Newcastle, and plenty of fans would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that meeting. While some aspects of their conversation are likely to remain a secret, the victory at Wembley speaks to the job the new manager has done both before and after meeting the Scot.
United haven't won the Premier League since back in 2012-13, when Robin van Persie top-scored to help them to glory in Ferguson's final season. It seems fitting, then, that Van Persie was the one to hear his compatriot's stance on Ferguson during a BT Sport interview.
