Jaap Stam has warned Manchester United that Erik ten Hag would be dealing with a different animal should he be appointed as the club's next boss.
The Red Devils are still searching for a permanent successor to interim boss Ralf Rangnick, who has already expressed his admiration for the work Ten Hag has done at Ajax since 2017. The Dutchman is one of the two outstanding candidates for the Old Trafford hot seat alongside under-fire Paris Saint-Germain gaffer Mauricio Pochettino and is even ready to answer the club's SOS call.
But should Ten Hag be handed the keys, Stam reckons his compatriot will face a tough task in making the step up from the Eredivisie to the Premier League. "Ten Hag is doing very well at Ajax; he makes the team a difficult opponent for everyone in Europe and Holland," the ex-United defender told Sky Sports Italy, via Sport Witness.
