Ex-Man Utd captain Buchan happy with Ten Hag: Good to see a manager in charge of the players

Former Manchester United captain Martin Buchan has been impressed by the work of manager Erik ten Hag.

He's impressed with how Fen Hag is sorting things out after the post-Sir Alex Ferguson demise.

"It is nice to see there is a manager in charge of the players now," he told the Daily Mail. "I was disappointed by some of the big names, it was more about them than the club. I am referring to Pogba and Cristiano.

"I think he has tarnished his legacy, Ronaldo, by his behaviour. Petulant behaviour, you know. Which is a shame because when I think back it was United players, Gary Neville, that went to Fergie and said you've got to sign this kid from Sporting Lisbon.

"He was a wonderful player but it went sour at the end. I am 74, I'd still be playing if I could, but father time pardons no man. It comes to us all. The secret is to know when to go."
