Gary Neville has agreed with Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick's 'open-heart surgery' claim and highlighted the need for patience in light of Erik ten Hag's appointment.
Ten Hag will take over at Old Trafford in the summer and, as this season dwindles to a conclusion, it is becoming evident of the work needed to spark improvements at the club. United legend Neville admits he agrees with Rangnick's claim likening the change United needed to "open-heart surgery" as he spoke on his self-titled Sky Sports podcast.
On Ten Hag, Neville said: "I think any appointment at this point is a risk, it just is, because there is no certainty anymore.

"We've seen the great certainty come and go in Jose Mourinho, we've seen Louis van Gaal — one of the most experienced, world-class managers — and we've seen one of the home-grown ones try and go as well. It's not worked and they've not been able to get up to the level Manchester United expect but also the level that Manchester City and Liverpool are setting.
"Whoever it was was going to be a risk, Erik ten Hag comes with a great reputation, comes with an exciting style of football, he was the popular choice with the fans. He's obviously been recommended by Ralf Rangnick and the other people at the club.
"I think in terms of what he's going to face he's going to need some time. He going to need time to understand the club, the changing room. Darren Fletcher has been on the bench for most of the last few months, he'll be aware of the situation in the changing room. I still can't believe from going from a European cup final last year and finishing second that open-heart surgery is needed on this squad but it quite simply is."
