Erik ten Hag has described as “massive” Sir Alex Ferguson’s willingness to impart his knowledge to help the Manchester United manager after they dined together on Tuesday night.
Ten Hag met his supremely successful predecessor in a restaurant in Wilmslow near to their homes. Ferguson’s 26-and-a-half year reign as United manager ended in 2013 with 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, four League Cups, two European Cups, the Uefa Cup Winners’ Cup, the European Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup and Fifa Club World Cup.
