Roy Keane's blunt Erik ten Hag prediction and claim Man Utd history will repeat itself

Roy Keane believes that unless Erik ten Hag is given the ability to ruthlessly overhaul the playing staff at Manchester United, his appointment will make little difference.

Ten Hag was confirmed as United’s new First Team Manager last week and is set to begin his time at Old Trafford after finishing the current campaign with Ajax. The Dutchman is set to arrive with the club at their lowest ebb in a number of years following a miserable season under first Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and then Ralf Rangnick.

The Red Devils look destined to miss out on the Champions League altogether next year and haven’t lifted a trophy since the end of the 2016/17 season. Ten Hag follows in the footsteps of David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Solskjaer in attempting to replicate the successes of legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
