Erik ten Hag (54) does not live safely at Manchester United. And now comes a bomb of a proposal.
British media profiler Andy Goldstein believes the club must dust off Sir Alex Ferguson.
– I know that many will say that this is stupid. But it’s not stupid. Before the FA Cup final against Manchester City, the speech in the dressing room should come from Sir Alex Ferguson. That gives United the best opportunity to beat City, says Goldstein.
The media profile is not just anyone. He is a host on talkSPORT, one of the most high-profile broadcasters in England.
Co-presenter Darren Bent (40) couldn’t believe his ears when the comment came out on air.
– You want someone back who was a coach ten years ago – for one game?
Goldstein’s response:
– Ferguson has something no one else has. Just by walking into the room, he has it. Even today. Imagine sitting there as Marcus Rashford. I don’t know where he is mentally or physically. But I know exactly how important Sir Alex has been.

The FA Cup final between United and City will be played at Wembley Stadium on 25 May.
Ferguson coached Manchester United from 1986 to 2013. During that time, the club won 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cup finals and the Champions League twice. He retired in 2013.
Now talkSPORT’s Andy Goldstein believes he should be given one last chance to win another trophy.
United are in eighth place in the Premier League. The FA Cup is the last opportunity to win a trophy this season.
– You bring Sir Alex Ferguson into the dressing room at Wembley against Manchester City and Ferguson gives the speech: United will have every chance, says Goldstein.
The winner of the FA Cup goes directly to the Europa League.
