Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed coach Erik ten Hag for his work with the team.

The Dutchman has won his first trophy in charge of United, beating Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

The Red Devils claimed their first trophy in five and a half years, with Ferguson delighted to have witnessed a return to winning ways.

Ferguson, speaking to Sky Sports post-game, stated: “He mentioned that earlier Erik and I think he's right [good summer signings].

“United are based on success and he's going the right way about it.

“The signings have been really good and that's important.

“And he's got a grip on the club which is really, really big for him. When you come to United you try to get off to a good start right away and he's done really well."
