Robin van Persie likens Erik ten Hag to a PRIME MINISTER after enjoying a masterclass from the Man United boss on managing 'not just a team but a whole club'... as he heaps praise on his fellow Dutchman for 'opening the doors' to his own coaching career

Robin van Persie has compared Erik ten Hag to a Prime Minister after receiving a masterclass on the art of management from the Manchester United boss.

Ten Hag is nearing the end of his first year in charge of United, and it has been a successful one so far.

Last month he ended the club's six-year wait for a trophy by seeing off Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley, while they also remain in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

United are also well on course to secure a top-four Premier League finish and the Champions League qualification that comes with it up in third place.
