Erik ten Hag had an amazing season with Ajax last year. He guided them to the domestic double and the semifinal of the Champions League, where they narrowly lost to Tottenham Hotspur.

His Ajax team have continued where they left last season, as they are unbeaten domestically. Their only loss of this season came against Chelsea in their last Champions League group game.

Ten Hag has guided Ajax to the top of the Eredivisie comfortably this season, and they are level on points at the top of their Champions League group.

Ten Hag fits the profile of the type of manager Manchester United fans would prefer. His team plays an attractive style of football, and he is also known to trust and improve young players at his disposal.

The latter is something that fits in with the recent transfer market approach of United. They are trying to bring in young players from their academy and even from outside. Ten Hag seems to be the best candidate to help United in that direction, thus giving their fans the type of football they love.
