On Thursday, Manchester United announced that Erik ten Hag will become their new manager in the summer, joining the Old Trafford club on a three-year deal.
The Dutch coach has been in charge at Ajax since 2017, where he has earned widespread acclaim for building two successful sides characterised by attractive, attacking football and talented youngsters. In replacing interim manager Ralf Rangnick, Ten Hag will become the sixth manager United have hired since Sir Alex Ferguson retired nine years ago.
United's decline over the past decade has made for pleasant viewing over on the blue side of the city, but Manchester City fans might now feel that finally, finally, their neighbours have managed to hire a coach who will return United to where they think they belong.
