Ten Hag slowly getting giant of club back on its feet again

SCRIPT IS RIGHT FOR DOC ERIK

ERIK TEN HAG has laid bare the full extent of Man United's collapse from a football superpower to a dysfunctional club that has lost its way.

The Dutch boss also said former interim manager Ralf Rangnick was spot on when he claimed United needed "open heart" surgery and that former United boss Louis van Gaal advised him NOT to take the Old Trafford job.

Ten Hag admits he's been fire-fighting in his first two years at the club after discovering a shocking scene of chaos and mismanagement when he first arrived at Old Trafford.

But the 52-year-old former Ajax coach loves the club's history and fans - and believes the arrivals of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and top administrators like Dan Ashworth are already having an impact.
