Jamie Carragher insists Manchester United should appoint Erik ten Hag over Mauricio Pochettino despite Ajax crashing out of the Champions League... as he highlights the manager's ability to build teams

Jamie Carragher believes Manchester United should hire Erik ten Hag despite Ajax's round of 16 exit in the Champions League.

Both United and Ajax crashed out of the competition on Tuesday evening to Atletico Madrid and Benfica respectively.

Ten Hag is among one of the favourites to take the permanent United job this summer, along with Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino - who also saw his side get eliminated at the same stage to Real Madrid.
