Rio Ferdinand outlines how Erik ten Hag has improved Manchester United this season

Former centre-back Rio Ferdinand believes implementing stability has been the key to Manchester United's resurrection under manager Erik ten Hag this season.

Approaching his first anniversary as United manager, Ten Hag has restored standards at Old Trafford in his maiden campaign at the helm, with the club on course to finish inside the top four and secure Champions League qualification for next season. They are currently third in the standings following Sunday's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

As well as being on course to qualify for Europe's premier club competition, Ten Hag also ended the club's six-year wait for a trophy, guiding them to the Carabao Cup crown back in February, beating Newcastle United 2-0 in the final. They are also still alive and kicking in both the Europa League and the FA Cup, meaning it is possible United could end the season by winning three major honours and securing a top-four berth.
