Former Manchester United coach Eric Steele believes Erik ten Hag will reinstall the discipline on and off the field at Old Trafford.

Ajax boss Ten Hag was appointed as United's new manager last week.

Steele, who worked under Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, spent time with Ten Hag during his time in charge of Utrecht, and has no doubts the Dutchman can change the philosophy at the club.

"Without a doubt," he told Sky Sports. "When I was there you had big characters - the big players ran the dressing room, and that's what you want.

"You want them to have the belief, come in every day and want to be successful, to train hard every day to better the club, improve the team and be successful.

"At the moment it seems very much it's individuals being discussed and not the team.

"There's arguments on the field between players. Things that have happened in the dressing room that have come out - those simply wouldn't have happened when I was there under Sir Alex.

"So I think they have to get the culture right on and off the field, and I'm sure Ten Hag is the man to get them back to where they ought to be: in the top four."
