Nicky Butt has praised Erik ten Hag for his 'strong character' and the progress Manchester United are making.
This season was widely regarded as a transitional campaign for Ten Hag, who was appointed on a three-year contract with the option of an additional year in the summer, but the Dutchman has defied expectations in his first six months at Old Trafford.
After a worrying start to the Premier League campaign, United have made impressive progress and they could move to second position in the table for 24 hours with a win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Wednesday night.
