Gary Lineker delivers three-word message to Erik ten Hag after Manchester United job news

Gary Lineker has delivered a three-word welcome message to Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag as he gets ready to touch down in the Premier League next season. United confirmed the appointment on Thursday after they settled on the Dutchman as their number one managerial candidate.

Five months have passed since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked as United boss and Ralf Rangnick will continue as interim for the remainder of this campaign. Ten Hag will step into the hot-seat this summer after setting his sights on a third Eredivisie title in four years with current club Ajax.

The 52-year-old has also won two Dutch Cup medals during his successful tenure in Amsterdam. Ten Hag replacing Solskjaer comes as no surprise after Manchester Evening News revealed last month that he was their preferred pick to become head coach — though reaction from across the board continues to flood in.
