Two heads are wiser than one. Especially if the second head belongs to Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary Manchester United boss. The man tasked with emulating the Scotsman’s achievements, Erik Ten Hag, shared a dinner with the club icon on Tuesday night near his new home, in the town of Wilmslow, around 18 kilometres south of Manchester city centre.Erik ten Hag pictured with Sir Alex Ferguson in a restaurant 😍via @OliverCritchlo1 pic.twitter.com/KVDfKWFmy1— UtdDistrict (@UtdDistrict) February 21, 2023 While United’s rivals Liverpool were getting annihilated in their UEFA Champions League tie with Real Madrid, the two men presumably spoke about their club’s fortunes.Ten Hag knows that by the end of the week, he could have guided United to their first trophy in six years, with the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United looming. Before that, there is the Barcelona showdown on Thursday night in the UEFA Europa League knockouts. The season is entering its business end, so any advice from the man who won 38 trophies in 27 years in charge of the club was more than welcome.##NAJAVA_MECA_7041449####NAJAVA_MECA_7041504##One elite coach was speaking to another, likely with glory at Wembley on his mind after joining the Red Devils to achieve precisely that.Ferguson, whose attendance, home and away, has increased in recent months, will be at Old Trafford for the Barca game and will also be at Wembley on Sunday.The sight of United lifting silverware, once common practice, is now a feeling millions have missed for far too long. Whether this weekend or later, Ten Hag is almost sure to be the man to change that.
