Sir Alex Ferguson says Erik ten Hag’s vision for Manchester United along with his authoritative status within the club has helped him get off to a successful start at Old Trafford, as have his signings.
The Dutchman lifted his first piece of silverware as Reds boss on Sunday with a 2-0 Wembley win over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final. Ferguson was at the game and was invited into the dressing room to join in with celebrations following the trophy lift.
It is United’s first accolade since their 2017 Europa League success and just their fourth since Ferguson’s retirement 10 years ago. Ten Hag brought in five permanent signings over the summer, three of which started the final in Lisandro Martinez, Antony and Casemiro.
