In an interview with Betfair, as reported by the Metro, the former Barcelona great made his thoughts towards Ten Hag and Manchester United crystal plain, stating:
As a result of his achievements at Ajax, I am confident that Ten Hag would make an excellent choice as Manchester United's next manager." He's a fantastic coach, by the way.
It is a delight to watch his Ajax squad play because his attacking style and attractive football are a perfect fit for Manchester United's identity.
The thought of what he could accomplish with a Manchester United roster that includes some of the best players in the world excites me." He would be a fantastic addition to the Manchester United squad."
According to the Metro, Manchester United were impressed with the Ajax manager after holding initial talks with him. As a result, the 51-year-old has now been deemed the frontrunner for the position, ahead of the likes of Mauricio Pochettino, Luis Enrique, and Julen Lopetegui, among other candidates.
Rivaldo's appreciation for Ten Hag is well-deserved, as the Dutchman has done an outstanding job in his present position since taking over from his predecessor in 2017. The work of the 51-year-old was brought to the notice of the entire world during Ajax's journey to the Champions League semi-finals in 2019, and it has served as the foundation for all subsequent praise.
According to the Times, Manchester United is looking for a manager that can help them develop a strong playing identity, and that is exactly what they will get with Ten Hag as their new manager. Because of what the Old Trafford faithful have witnessed in recent years, the "attacking style and attractive football" described by Rivaldo will be welcomed with open arms.
