Former Manchester United goalkeeping coach Eric Steele has compared Erik ten Hag's impending arrival at Old Trafford to that of Jurgen Klopp's at Liverpool in 2015.

Ten Hag will be tasked with overseeing one of the biggest rebuilding projects in United's recent history, with big changes needing to be made to the first-team squad and the overall philosophy of the club. Although there is a clamour for success to return to Old Trafford, it must be recognised that Ten Hag will want to oversee a long-term project.

"Now, we know how long it took Jurgen Klopp - it took him time to establish his style, his commitment and to get that across to the players.
"I think Ten Hag is in that situation like when Klopp went into Liverpool. But there was patience shown with him and you look at where he has taken Liverpool
