Paul Ince compares Erik ten Hag and Sir Alex Ferguson ahead of Manchester United clash

Paul Ince has suggested that he sees similarities between the job Erik ten Hag is currently doing with Manchester United and the revival the club enjoyed under Sir Alex Ferguson in the early 1990s.

Reading manager Ince was part of the Reds side who won the FA Cup in 1990, with United defeating Crystal Palace in the final to secure Ferguson's first trophy as manager. The Scot went on to win 38 trophies during his reign as Reds boss, including 13 Premier League titles.

It came after the club had gone 26 years without winning the league, and Ince believes that the triumph over Palace at Wembley was the catalyst for the success that followed. Now, as his Reading side prepares to take on United in the FA Cup fourth round, the former United midfielder has identified similarities between Ferguson and Ten Hag.
