‘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.’
Mauricio Pohettino is ten Hag’s main competitor for the job at Old Trafford and reports earlier this week say the Argentine has now spoken to United.
