Former Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has described manager Erik ten Hag as 'one of the best coaches in modern football' after being invited back to Carrington to work on his coaching badges.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News on Tuesday, the former striker, who played for United between 2012 and 2015, is spending time at the club's training base as he prepares for a career in management. The former Netherlands international is currently working at Dutch outfit Feyenoord in a coaching role.
Despite being invited to Carrington to work on his coaching badges, United sources have stressed that he is not being lined up to join the club's coaching team. Ten Hag has invited Van Persie back to the club to help and support him, given his close relationship with the Reds following his playing career.
