‘Tactically, he is the best’ – Ajax star Tadic tells Man Utd they are getting one of world’s top bosses in Erik ten Hag
DUSAN TADIC reckons Manchester United are getting one of the best coaches on the planet.
Ajax’s Erik ten Hag has erected a wall of silence about his future ahead of tomorrow’s Dutch Cup final against PSV Eindhoven.
But, having appointed the chosen one in David Moyes, then the special one Jose Mourinho, Tadic says it’s no surprise United are now going for the best one.
The Ajax midfielder, who spent four seasons with Southampton, said: “No doubt Ten Hag is one of the best coaches in the world.
“He’s not just showing that this season, he’s shown it for years.
“He is tactically two steps ahead of every opponent.

“He knows exactly what every game needs in order to win. He is amazing really.”
Serbian Tadic, 33, added: “Tactically, Erik ten Hag is the best.
“You will know what to do when you are on the pitch all the time.”
Ten Hag, 52, verbally agreed a four-year deal with United last week but told Friday’s KNVB Cup final press conference why he would not discuss it.

“That’s what it’s about, we want to win those prizes. That’s what we live for.”
