Erik ten Hag is already a hugely popular figure among the Manchester United faithful for a number of reasons, but one is likely to be his similarity to club icon Sir Alex Ferguson.
Their shared style is not one that has manifested on the pitch or in any tactical sense, but instead how they deal with off-field matters. More specifically, want away players who could upset the apple cart as they angle for a move.
Both Ferguson and Ten Hag have faced this issue during their respective reigns in charge of England's biggest club, with the former having to deal with David Beckham and his desire to join Real Madrid.
