Erik Ten Hag has been advised he can be creating a huge mistake with the aid of bringing in Steve McClaren as his Manchester United number two.
United are currently closing in on one of the maximum critical appointments of their records. The Dutchman is the clean favorite to take charge at Old Trafford from period in-between boss Ralf Rangnick with what seems a tough short. Indeed, having fallen a few way in the back of Liverpool and Manchester City, Ten Hag may be charged with ultimate that gap and in the end overhauling them.
Ten Hag becomes the 5th everlasting appointment United have made in view that Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.
As such, his appointment is in all likelihood to be rubberstamped in the coming weeks. And planning for a vibrant new technology at Old Trafford is apparently already underway.
Of direction, masses is being written and stated approximately United’s squad. Decisions have to be made over some of big-name stars, with Jamie Carragher advising the Dutchman to dispense with the services of principal names.
However, Ten Hag’s first decision is probably to come behind the scenes along with his choice as his No 2. The likes of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Robin van Persie – former United strikers – have been touted as options.
That stated, the door on Van Nistelrooy lately closed, while Van Persie has also seemingly grew to become his again on a return.
The likes of Rene Meulensteen and Peter Bosz also are reportedly below consideration.
However, it's far McClaren who appears to be pinnacle of Ten Hag’s wishlist; a coach the Dutchman is aware of nicely.
Indeed, the 2 men labored together formerly at FC Twente among 2008 and 2010.
