Manchester United fans have no need to be concerned about the possible language barrier should Erik ten Hag be appointed as manager, according to a former Netherlands international.
Ten Hag is the club's preferred managerial candidate and the MEN Sport understands that he was interviewed for the permanent role last week. Despite seemingly being high on United's wishlist, an announcement on their new manager is not 'imminent' and Paris Saint-Germain's Mauricio Pochettino remains in the running.
Some supporters and pundits have raised concerns about his lack of Premier League experience and his ability to speak English. However, according to Dirk Kuyt, the latter would not prove to be a problem if he was to swap Ajax for Manchester.

Kuyt told Goal: "Ten Hag is a great, experienced coach. He's done his apprenticeship, if you like, with Bayern Munich's second team, then Utrecht and now at Ajax.
"He is a great manager who has improved himself so much, on and off the pitch. I know some people were doubting his level of speaking English, his performance in front of the camera, but you see him growing every week as a manager, and I think he can do a great job at any top side in Europe. His tactics, his way of thinking about football, is very interesting, and it would be great if he was to get an opportunity at a top side."
