Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has suggested that Steve McClaren can play a role in helping Erik ten Hag grab his transfer targets this summer.
The former England manager has been brought in as the Dutchman’s assistant alongside former Ajax No.2 Mitchell van der Gaag. McClaren was Sir Alex Ferguson ’s assistant between 1999 and 2001, and helped the club win the Treble in his first year.
In 2010, ten Hag was his assistant as he guided FC Twente to their sole Dutch title. He will now play roles-reversed as he re-takes his seat in the Old Trafford dugout, more than two decades on.
