'What a mess' - Erik ten Hag told how long it will take to fix 'chaos' at Manchester United

Former Sheffield United and Middlesbrough manager Neil Warnock believes it will "take at least three years" for Manchester United to get back on track and correct their recent wrongs.

The Championship promotion-winning expert, who officially retired from management in April, has made the admission following United assistant manager Steve McClaren's confession about being ready to face the chaotic situation the club currently finds itself in. The former England manager, alongside new United manager Erik ten Hag, will get to work on Monday, starting their attempt to try and transform the club's fortunes.

United, despite spending north of £120million on the additions of Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, finished sixth in the Premier League table last term, ending the campaign with a goal difference of zero. It was a disastrous campaign and pressure is now on Ten Hag to transform their fortunes.
