The Sir Alex Ferguson approach Erik ten Hag can follow to avoid Mourinho-inflicted USA nightmare

Manchester United's return to the United States in 2023 will be their first tour across the pond since the disastrous Jose Mourinho trip five summers ago.

United's Portuguese manager cut a miserable figure in 2018, declaring he'd learnt nothing about his squad, criticising referees, telling fans they'd wasted their money and watching the Reds lose 4-1 to rivals Liverpool.

It was a nightmare from start to finish. But America does not mean awful. While Mourinho's trip was marred in misery, Erik ten Hag could do worse than cast a look back to 2010.

Then, under Sir Alex Ferguson, United went Stateside and laid the groundwork for a Premier League title win and a Champions League final appearance.
