Erik ten Hag reveals what Sir Alex Ferguson has brought to Man Utd after dinner meeting

Erik ten Hag has revealed that he feels Sir Alex Ferguson's influence over Manchester United "every day."

The Red Devils boss, who arrived at a miserable Old Trafford last summer and looks to have put the club back on the right track after years of false dawns, recently met Ferguson for dinner in Wilmslow, Cheshire. The pair were spotted enjoying a bite to eat and some drinks on Tuesday at the start of a huge week for Ten Hag's United.

First up is Thursday's Europa League showdown with Barcelona before a trip to Wembley on Sunday for the Carabao Cup final, where they'll face Newcastle. Former Red Devils striker Robin van Persie sat down with the current United manager for BT Sport to preview the Barcelona clash and asked him whether he feels Ferguson's influence around the club.
