As is clear from his promise to De Jong, Ten Hag means business, and he left the post-season tour of Ajax after winning the league title to begin his work at Old Trafford soon. Having moved in with Rangnick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over the past year, a source told The Independent that the Dutchman is “unlike any personality United has had”.
Ten Hag was in the stands at Selhurst Park as he watched Crystal Palace beat his new team on the final day of the season. If it wasn’t clear yet, that marked the amount of work that needs to be done for next season if the Red Devils want to compete with teams they’ve done in previous years.
After accumulating their lowest total points in Premier League history, United finished 35 points behind Man City and 13 points from the top four.
