When the Man Utd media team met Erik ten Hag

Given the recent news that Erik ten Hag was set to arrive in Manchester and begin his tenure, there was certainly a sense of excitement in the air upon coming into work. Especially as a number of colleagues from our London office had informed us that the Dutchman had introduced himself to them late last week, in what they described as a surreal but pleasant surprise. 

The day had started in pretty typical fashion. But while we were conversing at lunch, we were suddenly met with sounds of excitement and astonishment. Erik ten Hag had wandered in.

Naturally, we were all quite amazed that he was there. But soon after we returned to our conversation, as it’s not like we’d want to bother him during what we assumed was his own lunch break on a rather busy day! 

However, a couple of moments later John Murtough, the club’s Football Director, introduced Erik to us and Erik, very politely, introduced himself to each one of us and asked how our day was going, what we were up to, and if we were enjoying our food.
