Erik ten Hag, at his finest, transforms teams like those of Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, and Jose Mourinho.

That's according to former Manchester United goalkeeper Sander Westerveld, who still has his worries about whether Ten Hag will be able to achieve success at Old Trafford as a result of the problems at the club, but feels he is the greatest choice for the club's next manager.

United are closing in on the appointment of Ajax manager Erik Ten Hag as their new permanent manager. Ten Hag will finally replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was fired in November, and will take over from interim manager Ralf Rangnick. Our sources at the club have told us that the 52-year-appointment old's is nearing completion and that a deal is "essentially done."

Westerveld, a former Liverpool player, believes that Ten Hag can have a revolutionary influence on United following yet another disastrous season.

Upon being questioned whether he would be a good fit for Manchester United, the Dutchman replied, "I'm not sure." "He is a good fit for Manchester United, and he will be an excellent coach for the club since he is a top-notch manager.

"A new type of coach, he is not a coach who coaches but a coach who changes teams, like Klopp and Guardiola, or even Mourinho when he is in the prime of his powers. As a result, he will undoubtedly make changes at Manchester United.

"The only problem is that it's a difficult team to manage at the moment, and it's a difficult club to manage at the moment." The best option for Manchester United at the moment is, of course, if he gets a chance and is given a chance.

Even yet, his inexperience as a head coach in the highest levels of professional soccer means he's a risk." But, ideally, he performs admirably for Manchester United."
