Erik ten Hag has reportedly been described as the "New Sheriff" after completing his first week of work at Manchester United.

The Dutchman, 52, was appointed United's new manager in April - starting work in May - and is hoping to revive the club's stuttering team. They finished sixth in the Premier League this term, recording their lowest points total (58) since the 1989-90 campaign.

Just as worrying is United's lack of silverware in recent years. They haven't lifted a trophy since their 2-0 Europa League final victory against Ajax in May 2017 - finishing as runners-up in the Premier League (twice), FA Cup and Europa League since.

According to GOAL, Ten Hag's arrival in Manchester has "sent a surge of electricity through the club". The former Ajax manager has reportedly met several members of the non-playing staff, who've labelled him the "New Sheriff" in a reassuring mark of approval.

Ten Hag has a decent coaching CV - winning three Eredivisie titles at Ajax - but has never managed in England before. The former Bayern Munich reserve boss started his new job ahead of schedule, appreciating the magnitude of the task in front of him.

Perhaps the biggest challenge will be the recruitment, with several players expected to leave the club this summer.
