Rafael van der Vaart has warned Manchester United’s pampered underperformers that they must adapt to Erik ten Hag’s intense methods or risk being “thrown out”.
Ajax manager Ten Hag is expected to be named the Red Devils next permanent manager after agreeing to terms with the Premier League giants. An announcement is imminent and could come after this weekend’s KNVB Cup final with PSV.
The 52-year-old is set to sign a three-year contract at Old Trafford and will have the option to extend that further, should he enjoy the success his predecessors have so often failed to achieve. Ten Hag has enjoyed great success at Ajax and will arrive in English football with a reputation for exhausting and strenuous methods which enable his sides to adopt a high-pressing, high octane style.
