Steven Gerrard has told Manchester United they have a "fantastic manager" in Erik ten Hag – although he joked that none of the club’s fans will listen to him.
Ten Hag has been officially confirmed as United’s new boss, with the 52-year-old set to take over at the end of the season following Thursday’s announcement. The Dutchman becomes the club’s fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.
He’ll have a huge task on his hands when he does arrive at Old Trafford as he picks up the pieces following a dismal campaign for United. Ten Hag will be tasked with a major rebuild during the summer, with a number of players set to leave while new additions are needed in a number of areas.
