ERIK TEN HAG is following the legacy of Manchester United legends Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson in his bid to take the club back to the top.
Former Old Trafford forward Brian Kidd, who won the European Cup under Busby and helped Ferguson win four Premier League titles as his assistant, reckons Ten Hag shares their philosophy.
Busby and Ferguson had a commitment to youth and Kidd believes Ten Hag shares that vision – and their attacking football ethos – by putting faith in the likes of 18-year-old Alejandro Garnacho.
“When you look in from the outside, he’s not afraid to play the kids, is he?” said Kidd. “That’s a good thing.”
He recalled the days of Busby and his assistant Jimmy Murphy and their philosophy that if you’re good enough, you’re old enough.
Kidd added: “I still can’t believe I was 17 when I went on the tour to Australia in 1967. Then I got that first full season, then we won the European Cup. They had faith in you.
