Former Manchester United assistant Kieran McKenna has dubbed Erik ten Hag as a "fantastic coach" as the Dutchman edges closer to being unveiled as the new boss at Old Trafford.
United have long been in talks with both Ten Hag and his current club Ajax in an attempt to iron out the details of the deal and lure the 52-year-old to Manchester to take the reins from current interim boss Ralf Rangnick. There has been plenty of debate as to whether Ten Hag is the right man to place in the United hot-seat, with Mauricio Pochettino a popular alternative.
However, Ten Hag has now received the blessing of a man who knows all about putting the players through their paces at United in the form of ex-assistant McKenna. Now at the helm of Ipswich Town as first-team manager, McKenna spent three years at Old Trafford working under Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
