'They are still well-served with 5-0' - Erik ten Hag is proving he's Manchester United material

Ralf Rangnick is doing his best to rescue Manchester United's season but a lot of fans are just desperate to know who the new permanent boss will be so we can start planning for the future.

Ajax's Erik ten Hag and Paris Saint-Germain's Mauricio Pochettino are the two managers who look to be the main candidates to grace the home dugout at Old Trafford next season.

Whether you prefer the former's stylish brand of football or the latter's Premier League nous, compelling arguments could be made for either to be the right man to take the reins from Rangnick in the summer.

One of the aspects of Rangnick's personality that has pleased United fans most since his appointment is how candid he can be in press conferences, so we've taken a look at the best quotes from the men who appear to be the frontrunners in the race to be named the new permanent United manager.

Erik ten Hag

“The second half had the same game image, Twente was no longer involved and it was very difficult with our intensity. I think they are still well-served with 5-0.”

If this doesn't excite United supporters then I'm not sure what will.

Even after Ajax beat FC Twente 5-0, Ten Hag was still left frustrated that his side didn't score more goals. This is exactly the type of mentality missing at Old Trafford right now and it would be refreshing to see such an attitude at the club.

“We should have scored more. I enjoyed my team’s performance. The pressing was good and our play was excellent. From there we created a lot of opportunities. We just didn’t capitalise on them enough.”

Again, he's hitting the sweet spot with this quote.

A 3-0 win over Heracles in the Eredivisie earlier this month still wasn't enough to quench Ten Hag's thirst for goals.
