Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag gifted Paul Ince a bottle of wine before the Reds' Premier League clash with Brighton on Thursday night.

Ince, who was sacked by Reading last month, was on punditry duty for Sky Sports when Ten Hag conducted his pre-match interview with the broadcaster. As the Dutchman walked out onto the pitch at the Amex, he handed Ince a bottle of wine.
