Ten Hag and Slot renew rivalry as Man Utd host Liverpool

One of English football's traditional rivalries will have a Dutch flavour this Sunday when Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag and Liverpool's new manager Arne Slot go head to head.

They have faced each other five times in the Netherlands previously and have quite a few managerial traits in common.

With both hailing from the east of the Netherlands, they started their first-team managerial careers in the Dutch Second Division.

They proved their credentials early on with Slot reaching the semi-final of the Dutch Cup with SC Cambuur and Ten Hag guiding Go Ahead Eagles to the Eredivisie.
