Manchester United: Rio Ferdinand backs Erik ten Hag to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand believes Erik ten Hag would be a good fit at the club following his success at Ajax.

Current manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under immense pressure following their recent poor run of form - including humiliating defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City.

The Ajax boss has been brought up as a potential replacement for Solskjaer, though he hasn't been as heavily touted as Zinedine Zidane or Brendan Rodgers.
