Sir Alex Ferguson is stuffed with reward for Erik ten Hag, claiming the Manchester United supervisor is doing a ‘fantastic job’ at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag is United’s fifth everlasting supervisor in 10 years following Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.

“I think Ten Hag has done a fantastic job,” 81-year-old Ferguson advised NBC Sports forward of Monday’s Premier League opener in opposition to Wolves.

“He’s taken it, he’s brought in his own players – I think that was important – and if he gets the striker ready soon they’ll be a really good side.

“Because that’s what they’ve really missed in recent years: a striker.”

Hojlund is presently sidelined with a again harm suffered earlier than his transfer from Atalanta. Ten Hag has vowed to not rush the 20-year-old again till he’s prepared.

“The rest of the team – the composition of the team – is very good,” Ferguson continued.

“They have great experience with defenders (Raphael) Varane and (Lisandro) Martinez and midfield experience with (Christian) Eriksen and Casemiro.

‘So there is a foundation and a foundation is always supplemented by your keeper and a striker.

“He has a new goalkeeper, who is very athletic, and a striker who, of course, I hope will be fit soon.”
