Erik ten Hag's plan on first day at Man Utd speaks volumes - "He's not Jose Mourinho"

The differences between Erik ten Hag and Jose Mourinho have been plain to see at Manchester United, a former team-mate of the Dutch coach has said.

Former Ajax boss Ten Hag took over at Old Trafford ahead of the 2022-23 season and has already improved the team's fortunes. After finishing sixth last season, United are well-placed for a top four finish and have already claimed their first silverware since 2017 by beating Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final.

Hans Kraay, who played with the 53-year-old at De Graafschap, has spoken to Mirror Football about his former colleague. The ex-midfielder, who also spent time in England with Brighton, pointed to Ten Hag's first day in charge when emphasising how he differs from former United boss Mourinho.
