Joe Cole has challenged Erik ten Hag to throw down the gauntlet at Manchester United and ask who stands with him.
The former Premier League winner said Ten Hag should prioritise players with the right 'character' rather than quality.
He pointed to Scott McTominay as a trustworthy individual, even if he is 'not' a 'better player than Bruno Fernandes or Casemiro'.
'If I was Erik Ten Hag and had a situation where my job was on the line I would want to know, ‘Who is with me and who is against me,’ Cole told Mail Sport ahead of United's Champions League trip to Copenhagen.
