Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has hailed Erik ten Hag following his encouraging start to life in charge at Old Trafford, insisting he has been impressed by the way he appears to have formed a feeling of togetherness between himself and his players.
After experiencing the worst possible start to his United tenure, being beaten by both Brighton & Hove Albion (2-1) and Brentford (4-0) in his first two games in charge, Ten Hag has slowly started to turn the club's fortunes around. The Reds have won five of their last six Premier League outings and have won their last three games in the Europa League.
The Dutchman, poached from Ajax, was always going to need time to address United's woes and several issues, particularly defensively, still need ironing out, as highlighted by the 6-3 defeat to Manchester City a fortnight ago. However, the positives have certainly outweighed the negatives so far this season.
