New Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has set up his own Twitter account - to stop people attempting to impersonate him on social media.

United sources have confirmed to Mirror Sport that the account- which has the handle @eriktenhag - belongs to Ten Hag, although the Dutchman is not expected to be active on it once the new Premier League season kicks off in August. The account is locked and has one hidden follower, but has been verified by the social medial platform. It has been created on his behalf by digital experts at Old Trafford.

United insist a host of people have set-up bogus accounts claiming to be the former Ajax manager and were keen to create a genuine one to distinguish him from the fake ones. It is understood other people could post messages on behalf of Ten Hag, with his approval, that would relate to sponsorship and commercial promotions. Manchester City rival Pep Guardiola also has an official Twitter account, although he is not thought to post messages on it himself.

Despite struggling to win trophies in recent seasons, United remain a commercial monster and one of the richest clubs in the world.
