Erik ten Hag thrown in the deep end with Jurgen Klopp test as new Man Utd reign begins

On Thursday, the Red Devils confirmed that the 52-year-old will become the club’s new First Team Manager, replacing interim boss Ralf Rangnick at the end of the current season. Ten Hag has earned himself a reputation as a progressive, attack-minded coach during his stint at Ajax and will now be tasked with dragging the Red Devils off the canvas.
