Man Utd slackers given fierce warning they face brutal treatment by serious Erik ten Hag

Rafael van der Vaart says Erik ten Hag should not keep Manchester United waiting and says any players not buying into his philosophy risk being kicked out of Old Trafford.

United are reportedly on the verge of finally confirming Ajax boss Ten Hag as the man to succeed Ralf Rangnick. A number of reliable sources have claimed that the two parties have verbally agreed a contract.

Manchester United have been deliberating over a new manager for some time with both Ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino having interviews with United officials. The Telegraph also claimed that a mystery contender had also been spoken to by the Old Trafford hierarchy.

“It’s not always the coach’s fault. Now there will be a trainer
