Erik ten Hag: I’m the man to restore the glory days to Manchester United
Without even a moment's hesitation, Erik ten Hag says with utter certainty: "I'm convinced I'll get it done - I did it everywhere." The new Manchester United manager was responding to a question on how long he needs to bring the glory days back to Old Trafford and his answer had echoes of that which Jurgen Klopp gave in his first press conference after being appointed Liverpool manager seven years ago. On that occasion, the German caused a few raised eyebrows when he predicted: "If I sit here in four years, I am pretty confident we will have one title." Klopp, who was taking over a side languishing down in 10th place in the Premier League, was wrong, although only by 12 months. But will Ten Hag - who won three Eredivisie titles, including two league and cup doubles in four full seasons as Ajax boss - be afforded such time at United?
