The Dutchman who took over the United job in the summer has been credited with the turnaround at the club in recent months.

 He has led the Red Devils to within touching distance of Arsenal at the top of the table and now, into the Carabao Cup final on Sunday against Newcastle.

United have a huge Europa League round of 16 clash with Barcelona on Thursday and that could have been part of the items on the agenda for the evening as Sir Alex himself led United to battle against Barcelona a few times in the past.

Speaking at his press conference on Wednesday, Ten Hag shed some light on the meeting with Sir Alex.

"I always enjoy speaking with people who have a lot of knowledge, a lot of experience. 

"He wants to share it, he wants to help and support. Manchester United is his club and he feels so committed."

After their Europa League clash with Barcelona on Thursday, United will turn their focus to the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle on Sunday. An encounter that represents a huge opportunity for Ten Hag to win his first piece of silverware for the club.
