New Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has been labelled a 'control freak' by Ajax defender Daley Blind, but the Dutchman has backed his former manager to be successful as the 52-year-old begins his reign at Old Trafford.
Blind made 141 appearances for United between 2014 and 2018, and spent several seasons at Ajax with Ten Hag, achieving success as recently as the 2021/22 when the duo won the Eredivisie title together.
Blind told manutd.com that Ten Hag 'wants to keep everything close' and 'be on top of everything'.
'In Ajax, he knows everyone at the club is important,' said Blind.
