Robin van Persie hails Erik ten Hag as 'one of the best coaches in modern football' after being invited back to Carrington to work with the Man United boss... as he prepares to move into management

Robin van Persie has heaped praise on fellow countryman Erik ten Hag after returning to Carrington to learn from the Manchester United manager.

Van Persie is completing his coaching badges as he prepares to try his luck in the dugout, and he has been continuing his development by returning to his former club to work with Ten Hag in recent days.

In his three seasons at United as a player between 2012 and 2015, Van Persie won the Premier League title and the Golden Boot, and he referred to those fond memories as he posted on Instagram about going back to Manchester to work with Ten Hag and the United squad.
