Ten Hag: It was a risk to join Man Utd - but I LOVE this club

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admits he "LOVES" the club after lifting the Carabao Cup.

Given the problems at United last season, leaving Ajax might have been seen as a risk to Ten Hag's reputation.

Ten Hag said it wasn't at the time. But now accepts it was.

"Maybe it was a risk but I just love United," he said. "When I see our shirts, when I see the boundary with the fans, when I see Old Trafford, when I see the legacy like Sir Alex left, so many big players were developed in United teams and it leaves a big impression.

"We want to do the same. This team wants to make its own history, its own legacy and when this opportunity came I thought this was the right club for me, I want to be part of it."
