News that Erik ten Hag has verbally agreed a deal to take over at Manchester United this summer has got fans thinking of how his tenure could run.
The 52-year-old will be under no illusions that he is facing the biggest challenge of his career at Old Trafford where problems are piling ever higher.
Liverpool and Manchester City continue to break new ground in excellence, all while United wither almost to the point of competitive irrelevance.
That just doesn't fly.
Sportsmail revealed that United have offered Ten Hag a three-year contract with the option of a fourth and while he cannot transform this rag-tag group overnight, three years is a period of time fit for a rebuild.
