That some Manchester United players have reservations about the possibility Erik ten Hag could manage them next season is another reason for the club to appoint him.
This is the year the player-power era at United has to end after they stripped Jose Mourinho of authority. His replacement was effectively a substitute teacher who was disparagingly dubbed a 'PE teacher' by a section of the fanbase and United then hired the professorial Ralf Rangnick.
United sided with Paul Pogba over Mourinho and Pogba is going. They sided with Anthony Martial over Mourinho and he has gone, albeit not permanently. He needs to.
