Ten Hag's kind gesture

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Ten Hag has deepened his connection to the Red Devils faithful and recently made the day of a young fan while driving away from the club's training facility at Carrington.

According to a video published on Twitter, the boss met a young fan who presented him with a crown made from cardboard with the inscription King Erik Ten Hag.

The boy asked the former FC Twente boss to guess his favourite player, and he correctly guessed Alejandro Garnacho, possibly taking a hint from the kid's scarf.
