Manchester United midfielder Fred is ready to prove himself under Erik ten Hag when the Dutchman moves into office at Old Trafford at the end of this season - but admits the appointment must be met with a genuine ambition to challenge for trophies.
The Manchester Evening News revealed last month that Ten Hag had been identified as the club's preferred candidate to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on a permanent basis. Now, after weeks of talks with Ajax, the two clubs have come to an agreement and Ten Hag has signed a three-year contract with the option of an additional year.
During an interview with Premier League Productions, Fred said: "It's great news, he's a world-class coach who will help us a lot here. I've watched Ajax and they are a great team who play good football. We know he helps us a lot and hopefully, next year, we can win trophies."
