Persuade Ronaldo to stay, finalise his backroom team, begin the pursuit of De Jong or Rice and run the rule over the Youth Cup winners! Erik ten Hag's formidable to-do list at Man United as he gets down to work TODAY

Erik ten Hag clearly isn't one for sunbathing on the beach with a good book.

Manchester United's new manager has decided to get straight down to business at Old Trafford just one day after taking charge of his final match for Ajax.

'We have agreed that I will be employed by United from May 16... It's time to turn the switch now,' he said following Ajax's 2-2 draw at Vitesse on Sunday.

After an intensive season, Ten Hag would have been perfectly entitled to take a few weeks to recharge the batteries.
