Manchester United fans are eagerly awaiting the Erik ten Hag era to properly begin, but the Dutchman has already started work behind the scenes in what promises to be a huge summer for the club.
The former Ajax boss opted against enjoying any form of summer holiday to instead prepare for next season having touched down in Manchester earlier on this month. Ten Hag has already seen United in action in the flesh after attending their final game of what was a miserable campaign.
With interim manager Ralf Rangnick in the dugout at Selhurst Park, United fell to a feeble 1-0 defeat by Crystal Palace as Ten Hag watched on from the executive seats. He would have seen plenty of room for improvement, but has already received some point advice from Liverpool legend-turned-Sky pundit Jamie Carragher.
