United are yet to win or even challenge for the Premier League title since Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down as manager in 2013 with the last of his 13 championship triumphs in his decorated spell at Old Trafford.

Erik Ten is United’s fifth permanent boss since Ferguson vacated the hot seat, with the club having won one FA Cup, one League Cup and one Europa League in the nine years since then.

Former Ajax boss Erik ten has already begun the process of overhauling the squad he has inherited, identifying players he must keep, those he must offload and targets he wants to sign.

But ex-United midfielder Quinton Fortune revealed an issue of huge importance pinpointed by Ferguson in recent weeks that ten Hag must resolve early on in his tenure.
Fortune said:

“I was very fortunate to listen to the boss [Sir Alex Ferguson] at Carrington a few weeks ago and he mentioned a simple thing like the team spirit we had when we ate together at the canteen It’s something very simple, that a lot of people miss out on, but that created that bond – not just in the players – but everyone in the staff at Carrington.

“It played an important part of a successful club to create the team spirit, because we have amazing individuals, as you can see, but we’re not always playing as a team.

“We want players to want to come to Carrington and put on a red jersey. We know the talent is there.

“The style of football, which I’m sure he’ll implement, needs time and to bring in the right characters, but create a team that is going to play for each other, play for the club and enjoy it.
