Man United must sack Erik ten Hag and put 'best coach ever' Steve McClaren in caretaker charge, Paul Scholes and Michael Owen suggest, as they claim Dutchman has frozen his No 2 out

Manchester United must sack Erik ten Hag and put Steve McLaren in caretaker charge for the rest of the season, according to former players Paul Scholes and Michael Owen.

The pair were speaking after Manchester United's dismal 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday night.

Ten Hag's future is under serious doubt after a poor season, with the Red Devils eighth in the table with three difficult games left to play, as well as an FA Cup final where they will be considerable underdogs against local rivals Manchester City.
