Erik ten Hag lauded Jimmy Murphy as the "main person" in the history of Manchester United as the club prepares to unveil a statue of the former coach.
Murphy, assistant manager to Sir Matt Busby, had to manage United after the Munich air disaster in February 1958 when eight United players were among the 23 killed. Murphy also managed Wales at the 1958 World Cup.
Although Murphy was shabbily treated by United before his death in 1989, he is remembered by the Jimmy Murphy Centre at the club's Carrington training complex, as well as the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year award.
