ERIK TEN HAG has received a further boost ahead of this week's crunch clash with Copenhagen – the "unwavering support of Sir Alex Ferguson".<\/p>\n
SunSport has learned the retired Manchester United boss – a key figure at Old Trafford – is 100 per cent behind the under-pressure Dutchman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And the legendary Scot is believed to be ready to urge any new investors in the club to stick with the current manager.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Our story comes in the wake of United's crucial weekend win at Fulham – which many said could have been Ten Hag's last had the side lost.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A source said: "Erik has Sir Alex's unwavering support. He's been hugely supportive of Erik since he arrived at the club.<\/p>\n
"He's impressed at the job he is doing and, in particular, the way he has taken on big decisions.<\/p>\n
"Sir Alex, like everyone else, wishes results were better this season. <\/p>\n "But he thinks those pointing at the manager and calling for a change are wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201c[Ferguson] thinks he\u2019s shown the kind of character and mentality required to turn the club around – and he firmly believes Erik deserves time, like he got, to make a success of things at the club.<\/p>\n "If consulted, that's a position he would be prepared to make clear to any new investors who come into the football club."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to\u00a0take over the football operations\u00a0at United once his 25 per cent stake is confirmed.<\/p>\n And recruiting a new manager is not a priority for Ratcliffe as the British billionaire is more concerned with improving the club's transfer recruitment.<\/p>\n Ratcliffe is believed to be confident Ten Hag can change United's fortunes if he is given time and the support of an effective recruitment strategy.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Dutchman – who has been compared to Fergie in the past – has been likened to Scotsman once again.<\/p>\n The source added: "Sir Alex had to make decisions all the time during his years as manager which were difficult and risked putting him on a collision course with his players.<\/p>\n "But he never shied away from doing what he felt was right for the club.<\/p>\n "This is a trait Erik is showing too, especially with the way he handled the recent Marcus Rashford situation."<\/p>\n<\/picture>RED DEVILSHHH <\/span><\/p>\n
