EKO HOT BLOG reports that former England winger and Arsenal Hero Paul Merson, have sent a strong warning to Manchester United over Erik ten Hag’s appointment as their new manager.
Merson believes Manchester United are taking a ‘big risk’ if Erik ten Hag is appointed as manager.
Manchester United have spoken to Ten Hag and Paris Saint-Germain’s Mauricio Pochettino, but it appears that Erik ten is the favourite to take charge in Old Trafford come next season.
Ten Hag, who is currently in charge of Dutch side Ajax, has emerged as the top candidate among senior figures at Old Trafford.
Ralf Rangnick has been in the position on a temporary basis since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked in November, but the German is set to move into an advisory role at Old Trafford at the end of the season.

Despite Ten Hag’s reputation as one of the best coaches in Europe, Merson says Manchester United will be taking a ‘gamble’ if they give the 52-year-old the job.
“Manchester United are taking a big risk if they appoint Erik ten Hag as manager,” the former Arsenal and England winger told Starsport.

“The players know now that their manager isn’t going to be in charge next season. But Ten Hag isn’t the answer for me.
“He is coming from a club that’s in a two-team league where you dominate every match. He doesn’t know this league.
“I think it’s a gamble. You can’t win anything without a good manager and I’m not sure how good a manager Ten Hag is.”
