Paul Scholes has suggested Manchester United should appoint Edwin van der Sar in order to give Erik ten Hag a link with the club’s board. Ten Hag is set to arrive as United’s new manager at the end of the season, having had his appointment officially announced last week.
The current Ajax boss faces a huge task at Old Trafford, following what has been a dismal season for the club. The 52-year-old is likely to face a major rebuild in the summer, with interim manager Ralf Rangnick suggesting United could need as many as 10 new signings., and given the magnitude of the job at hand, Scholes believes Ten Hag could do with a helping hand.
Rangnick is set to move into a consultancy role, as per the agreement reached when he joined the club. Scholes though believes Ten Hag will need a link between himself and the club’s board, and feels Van der Sar could be the perfect appointment.
