Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and his wife Bianca were spotted leisurely cycling in Altrincham, Greater Manchester amid the suspension of Premier League games this weekend.

Ten Hag and his lovely partner took the rarest of opportunities to cycle through the city of Manchester following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, which led to the cancellation of all football games across the United Kingdom.

The 52-year-old and his wife were spotted cruising around as the pair were made to feel at home by the supporters as they mingled with them and gleefully took pictures.

The United boss and Bianca have been particularly active this weekend, also cycling through Cheshire on Saturday before going on a similar journey in Altrincham, reports the Sun.

Ten Hag appears to have finally settled in England after his initial successive loss in the Premier League.

The former Ajax manager has gone on a four-game winning run since his early baptism of fire - beating Liverpool and early pacesetters Arsenal in the process.

However, his winning run was brought to a halt in Europe when his charges narrowly lost by a lone goal against Real Sociedad in the Europa League.
