Chris Sutton touts Ange for Man United as Celtic hero sparks fiery debate and asks cynics 'where are you now'

Chris Sutton says Ange Postecoglou should be the man Manchester United look to if they bag Erik ten Hag - asking the people who doubted the Aussie 'where are you now?'

Postecoglou was initially treated with serious skepticism by Tottenham fans when it emerged that he was the favourite to take over with many accusing Daniel Levy of lacking ambition. There was even a social media campaign demanding the board reconsider with the feeling he hadn't earned a move to a top Premier League club despite winning five trophies out of six with Celtic.

Record Sport columnist Sutton though has been on the Big Ange hype train since early in his Celtic career and feels he's been proven right by Spurs' flying start to the Premier League season. They currently sit top and are yet to lose a league game under him, most recently downing Fulham 2-0 on Monday night.

And Sutton was quick to call out the cynics who have gone quiet. He spoke on the Daily Mail's It's All Kicking Off podcast where he was asked if Graham Potter's failings at Chelsea will turn United off to hiring from another Premier League club. He said: "I keep talking about big Ange all the time but has that perception gone now? Him coming down from Celtic, massive club that it is, but it's in the Scottish league. I know when he first went in at Tottenham, when he was first put forward, there was this campaign against him. #PostecoglouOut. Where are these people now? Where are you?"

Sutton was also asked who he feels is the man to replace Ten Hag should United make a change after a damning 3-0 defeat to rivals Man City. And his quick response - "Big Ange" - prompted host Ian Ladyman to ask him if he was living in a "dream world". But that got a fiery response from the Celtic hero
