In 2022, Man City Captain Pep Guaridola praised Erik ten Hag and advised Man Utd to choose the person leading Ajax to take on the job at Old Trafford next season.

Van Gaal warned his fellow coach to stay away from the Red Devils, a club that is more concerned about making money than winning on the field.

From England, the 52-year-old coach was advised the opposite, to take the opportunity when the Red Devils made an offer.

However, there are doubts about whether Ten Hag, who only works in the Dutch National Championship, can bring success to Man Utd in a fierce Premier League?

According to Pep Guardiola, no coach is guaranteed to bring success, but Ten Hag is someone Man Utd should not miss.

“If I was 100% sure of someone else’s success, I would call Manchester United and tell them, sign Erik ten Hag. But I don’t know and no one can guarantee that,” Pep Guardiola told Goal when asked if Ten Hag would be successful at Man Utd.

The Spanish strategist commented on Man Utd’s potential candidate: “He is a good coach, there is no doubt about that.

“But so have all the managers at Man Utd in the post-Sir Alex era who have left. All the people who led Man Utd were excellent.

“I talk to Ten Hag quite often and am surprised by his humility. Regarding Ten Hag’s qualities, just look at the Ajax team he has led over the years, not just in the 2019 campaign If they reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, it will be clear. Watching Ajax play football is very interesting.”

Pep Guardiola also confirmed that Erik ten Hag can also fully adapt at Etihad.
