Manchester United's Erik ten Hag was officially unveiled to the media two weeks ago. The Dutchman stayed in Manchester for a few more days after that press conference and he's now enjoying a break with his wife and three children.
There was talk of Ten Hag refusing to take a holiday but that was inadvisable. Ten Hag has just accepted the biggest challenge of his career and his time at Old Trafford will be consuming. He should enjoy his holiday this summer more than others.
Ten Hag needs that holiday to return to Manchester as the best, mentally recharged version of himself. Ten Hag has managed Go Ahead Eagles, Bayern Munich II, Utrecht and Ajax — which isn't the ordinary path to becoming manager of United — and everyone connected with the club is hoping he's not an ordinary manager. United need Ten Hag to be more than that.
