Man United bound Erik ten Hag is a PERFECTIONIST who 'wanted drinks put out in straight lines', grass cut 'to two MILLIMETRES' and a window in his office door so he could keep a closer eye on his squad, reveals one of his ex-players at Go Ahead Eagles

One of Erik ten Hag's former players has lifted the lid on what Manchester United can expect when the Dutch coach takes charge in the summer, including measuring the height of the grass and an obsession for drinks to be in a straight line.

Sportsmail reported this week that the 52-year-old has agreed a verbal contract with United to take over from interim boss Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season.

While Ten Hag has established his reputation at Ajax, he has paid his dues elsewhere in his coaching career and has honed his approach along the way.
