Manchester United legends react to the appointment of Ajax coach Erik ten Hag
Gary Neville, Jaap Stam and Rio Ferdinand have all given their thoughts about the newly-appointed manager.
Gary Neville believes Mauricio Pochettino missed out on the chance of becoming Manchester United manager due to his failure in this season's Champions League.
Paris Saint-Germain crashed out of Europe's biggest cup competition in the last-16 to Real Madrid and Neville said it had an impact, alongside not winning Ligue 1, in 2020/21.
The 52-year-old has signed a deal which will see him in charge until the summer of 2025, with an option of an additional year.
As we expected.. Ten Hag is announced! Welcome to Manchester United 👏

Time to fasten the belts and enjoy the ride! #WelcomeErik https://t.co/DXw7drGuS5 https://t.co/OpgyoyEm3j
Speaking on FIVE's YouTube channel previously, Ferdinand said: "He has worked with Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich and has the experience of being around big players. I think a huge part of what he has to get right at Manchester United is going to be getting it right with players.
