Erik ten Hag clearly holds a soft spot for Steve McClaren. It was clear here at Wembley that the Manchester United head coach relies heavily on the former England boss.
McClaren was among the first to embrace Ten Hag at the full-time whistle.
So, with that in mind, it will be interesting to see if McClaren, should - as expected - Ten Hag lose his job in the coming days follows the Dutchman out of the door.
Will there be a clean sweep of staff, or will INEOS look to keep 63-year-old if they decide to look elsewhere for a new boss amid indications there may be a role for him regardless of whether there is a change of boss?
