Juan Mata is hoping Erik ten Hag can implement his style at Manchester United and bring success back to the club.
The 34-year-old, who is out of contract in the summer, hasn't ruled out staying at the Theatre of Dreams after revealing he will have a meeting with the incoming manager to discuss his future. Mata has earned a run in the team towards the end of the season having spent much of the campaign on the United bench.
Ten Hag will be in attendance for United's final game of the season against Crystal Palace on Sunday. Interim boss Ralf Rangnick will be hoping to leave his role with Europa League qualification secured, but his side could be left needing a win to ensure West Ham don't leapfrog them in the table.

The 2012/13 season was the last time United tasted Premier League success and their Europa League triumph in 2017 was the last time they won silverware. Despite going five years without a trophy, Mata hopes Ten Hag can emulate his success in Holland and bring the glory days back to Old Trafford. He told The Athletic: "I have heard he is very methodical in the way he approaches games, he is very focussed and serious on the matter.
"He wants to win but in a certain way. I just hope, honestly from inside of me, whether or not I am here with him, he can implement that, can be true to himself, and win trophies with this great club. This is a unique club, because of the history, because of what we represent, but also the expectations we have to fulfil."
