Aron Winter is confident Erik ten Hag is the right manager for Manchester United.

Winter was Ten Hag's assistant coach at Ajax.

Now head coach of Suriname, Winter told The Sun: “When he gets criticism, he doesn't like it, but he knows what he is doing. If you listen to everything it makes you crazy. He has that quality to close his ears and work.

“He is a very good coach, but also very strict and very structured. He is always thinking how to win, how to damage an opponent.

“He showed that last year. He won a trophy. His problems now are injuries and a start to the season that was not so good.

“When Erik arrived at Ajax, he found the first six months very difficult. The fans were not happy with him, but we had a very strong board who helped and supported him a lot.

“I was already working at Ajax and he asked me to join his coaching staff. I used to be at the club as a player and it is very good to have the DNA from the club in your staff.

“At United, Erik should have those voices around him too. He has Steve McLaren as an assistant and Sir Alex Ferguson watching on, but maybe that is not enough."
