Robin van Persie reckons that Erik ten Hag 's biggest strength is his capacity to act as Manchester United 's "Prime Minister."
The former United striker spent two days with Ten Hag last month, as the two Dutchmen enjoyed time in Manchester and around the club's Carrington training complex. Van Persie is embarking on his own coaching career and got what he was looking for from the meet-up, as the Red Devils boss not only showed him how to manage a team but also an entire club.
Akin to how Sir Alex Ferguson ruled Old Trafford and not merely the first-team setup, Ten Hag is firmly in charge and going beyond his job description to help bring back the glory days. "The first time [I met Erik] was a couple of weeks ago, when I was here for two days," Van Persie, who previously revealed what he thinks has changed at United after paying them a visit, told the club's website.
