Former Manchester United forward Teddy Sheringham believes the club have already made their most important decision of the summer, by appointing Erik ten Hag as the club's next manager. Ten Hag has been handed a three-year contract and he will start to try and turn the club's fortunes around when he takes office in June.
Sheringham had a preference for Mauricio Pochettino ahead of Ten Hag, but insists the appointment of a manager and the task of restoring confidence to the players is the most vital aspect of a defining summer.
A week ago interim boss Ralf Rangnick suggested United might need as many as 10 new players this summer, but Sheringham believes it is the manager who will set the tone for any improvement next season, rather than significant upheaval in the squad.
