Erik ten Hag is pushing Manchester United to bring Steve McClaren back to Old Trafford as part of his new coaching team.
Ten Hag was confirmed as United's manager on Thursday on £9million a year until June 2025, and is set to be joined by his Ajax assistant Mitchell van der Gaag when he starts this summer.
However, the 52-year-old wants Sir Alex Ferguson's former No 2 McClaren on board as well, so he has someone with experience of not only the Premier League but United as well.
Ten Hag, who was McClaren's No 2 at Twente as the former England manager rebuilt his damaged reputation in Holland, is said to be adamant that the 60-year-old comes in.
