Manchester United have been told that they should turn back the clock and reappoint legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson to show up the players who are letting Erik ten Hag down.

Sir Alex Ferguson has been tipped for a dramatic last dance with Manchester United amid the uncertainty surrounding Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.

Because Paul Scholes was a typically shy character during the peak of his powers and because Sir Alex Ferguson was the opposite: a fiery, uncompromising manger, you might assume that the pair never clashed during their long careers working alongside each other at Manchester United.
