Jaap Stam tells Manchester United what not to expect from Erik ten Hag on matchdays

Former defender Jaap Stam believes incoming Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will prove to be a calming influence at Old Trafford, warning fans not to expect him to be "busy" on the touchline.

The Dutchman, currently in charge of Ajax, was officially announced as United's next manager last month. He was identified as the club's top target and will be tasked with overseeing the next chapter in the club's rich and colourful history.

Ten Hag, 52, will be set the challenge of trying to put United back on the road to success, starting with this summer's transfer window. Huge changes need to be made at Old Trafford over the coming months, not least to the first-team squad, which is in desperate need of mass changes.
