Erik ten Hag close to Manchester United. He was advised to take an insider who knows the ‘Red Devil’ culture as his right hand man.
Erik ten Hag is reportedly close to completing a move to Manchester United. The famous journalist Fabrizio Romano on Tuesday (19/4/2022) yesterday reported that his contract was ending soon and the announcement should only be a matter of time.
Without significant obstacles, Ten Hag will become Manchester United’s permanent manager starting next season. He has been waiting for a very tough task to return Man United to the top competition.
Manchester United have not won since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013. Their best achievement is two runners-up finishes, while four times outside the top four and this season is at risk of experiencing a fifth.
Sir Alex’s former assistant, Rene Meulensteen, believes the first thing Ten Hag needs to do if he becomes United manager is appoint an ‘insider’ as assistant. Ten Hag needs people who already know the ins and outs of MU, including current conditions.
A number of names of former Manchester United players have been linked to the role.
“Well, it’s important for him to have certain people he can trust, who understand the culture, the identity of the club and the journey so far, where he is now and how the club can get back to where it belongs,” Meulensteen told reporters. Sky Sports reported Metro.
“And he needs to have people who can give him the right information, so that he can make the right decisions in terms of hiring, coaching staff, his own staff, whatever. This information is important because if he had to find out on his own, it would obviously slow down the process.” he continued.
