ERIK ten Hag will already be well aware of what he needs to do as soon as he arrives at United.
The Reds are keen to show respect to Ajax by making an official announcement of him becoming their new manager after the Dutch Cup final this weekend, though once that has happened, the Dutchman will have no excuse to turn away media questions about his upcoming move to England.
For the final few weeks of the season, Ajax's quest for the double will be scrutinised like never before, and their popular manager will be picked apart by Reds fans who believe he can finally be the person to revive the dormant behemoth.
It's true that jumping from the Eredivisie to the Premier League is a huge leap. It is also true that the change in expectations at Ajax and United are also a large gulf apart, but right now 'unity is the key word needed in support of a new manager.
Ultimately, nothing can prepare you for the melting pot of the Old Trafford hot seat.
