Erik ten Hag told the biggest challenge he will face at Manchester United

Former centre-back Mikael Silvestre believes soon-to-be Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will have to change the club's recruitment style to put them back on the path to success.

The current Ajax chief was officially announced as United's next permanent manager last week and will take charge at Old Trafford ahead of the start of next season. Ten Hag will face the challenge of overseeing what promises to be one of the biggest transfer windows that the club has faced in recent years.

United's failed recruitment strategy has caught up with them this season and they have paid the price for their recent failures. But it is hoped that Ten Hag, in tandem with Ralf Rangnick, should he remain at the club, will be able to start correcting some of those wrongs.
