— I think that Ten Hag has proven himself admirably. He came and strengthened his authority in the team. For the first time in two or three years, I'm starting to see a Manchester United identity that I haven't seen in years.

He showed his strength and character in the way he handled Cristiano. So I think he's the right coach for the job. The main task for ten Haag will be to finish in the top 4.

Judging by Ronaldo's career, he and Messi are arguably the two best players of all time. You can go either way in that status, but what he did at the start of the season is really not acceptable for Manchester United, Wayne Rooney said.
