Ajax star highlights Erik ten Hag quality that previous Manchester United managers have lacked

Ajax star Dusan Tadic has highlighted one of Erik ten Hag's best qualities that Manchester United's most recent managers have lacked.

United's Premier League title drought is edging towards a decade and it's now almost five years since they lifted any piece of silverware. Last November saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer become the latest managerial sacking in the long list of successors to Sir Alex Ferguson.

One of the biggest complaints from United fans in recent years has been the club's inability to improve the talented youngsters they've brought into the squad. However, Tadic has already highlighted how Ten Hag's ability to help players grow is one of his best assets.

"He was very important. He did a great job. He wants to improve us every day, he wants to help us," Tadic told Omnisport (via Fotmob ).

"I think he also told his team with [Alfred] Schreuder, with Richard [Witschge], with Aron [Winter], with Carlo [l'Ami], with Bjorn [Rekelhof] and also a lot of compliments to our medical staff also, they did great to keep us fit. And also like all coaches they did amazing for us because they want to make us better.

"What is the biggest thing about Erik I think is his fanaticism and that he wants to improve us every day. He really likes football and this is really great for players because always they want to help you improve."
