Liverpool thriller, Barcelona brilliance - ranking Erik ten Hag's best Manchester United wins

Erik ten Hag's time in charge of Manchester United has been eventful to say the least.

The Dutchman, like most of the United managers to have taken the hotseat since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013, has endured his fair share of highs and lows.
