Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna has backed Manchester United to succeed under Erik ten Hag given the amount of work he believes will go on behind the scenes.
The Dutchman is expected to be announced as the club’s next new manager, although nothing will be announced until after Ajax’s KNVB Cup final against PSV on Sunday. The Manchester Evening News understands the 52-year-old has been the United board's preferred candidate for some time. He will arrive at Old Trafford with the task of revamping the squad.
One person who knows the Old Trafford halls well is McKenna. He was promoted to first-team coach by Jose Mourinho and stayed on under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He was briefly part of Ralf Rangnick’s backroom staff before leaving to take the manager’s role at Ipswich in December.
