McClaren and Ten Hag previously worked together during their time at FC Twente.

Former England manager McClaren also had a spell at United as assistant manager between 1999 and 2001.

The 61-year-old has most recently been the technical director at Derby County.

Neville thinks McClaren is a wise appointment as he comes with “vast experience”:

“I think Ten Hag comes as a successful coach, a coach that’s won, a coach that’s got belief and knows how to build an idea,” Neville said (via United’s official website).

“I think he does need someone alongside him on the side of the pitch that can tell him about different stadiums, referees, different things that happen culturally in England around matches.

“Steve McClaren’s got vast experience, not just at Manchester United but obviously in English football.”

Neville went onto compare McClaren’s job to the one Brian Kidd had at Man City under Pep Guardiola:

“I see Steve’s role, to be fair, as more akin to what Brian Kidd did
