Erik ten Hag told Man Utd is "terrible job" because of Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand

Erik ten Hag has been told to avoid the Manchester United job by Ruud Gullit due to the amount of scrutiny he'll be under from Old Trafford legends such as Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand.

The Dutchman is now the favourite to succeed interim boss Ralf Rangnick at Old Trafford - seeing off other frontrunner Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino in the process. Ten Hag is highly thought of by the United hierarchy having impressed since taking charge of the Eredivisie giants in 2017.

United appointed Rangnick to steady the ship in the wake of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal in November of last year, but the reality has been anything but. The club remain in disarray on the pitch and look increasingly likely to miss out on Champions League qualification in a season they were originally touted to be in the title race.
