Manchester United U21s manager Mark Dempsey has praised Erik ten Hag for watching the club's youngsters this weekend.
United's U21s played West Ham in the Premier League on Friday night and Ten Hag attended the game at non-league Altrincham's stadium Moss Lane alongside assistant manager Mitchell Van der Gaag and technical director Darren Fletcher.
It is understood the youngsters and coaching staff were not informed that Ten Hag would be attending the fixture and that his presence was a surprise. Ten Hag attended the game just hours after returning to Manchester from Chisinau.
