Man Utd have final Erik ten Hag issue holding up announcement as Ajax talks continue

Speaking earlier this month, McClaren gave an insight into how highly he rates Ten Hag as a coach with comparisons made to Ferguson.

“He could see things in the game that nobody else could see, myself included,” McClaren said.

“I have to sit up in the stands to see the patterns of a game, but he could stand on the touchline [and see them]. He always knew the answer to everything, how to change shape, change positions.

“His adjustments in the games — obviously I had worked with Sir Alex, and I used to think that some of his subs and changes were strange, but they always worked. Erik is the same in that respect.”
