Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha is convinced manager Erik ten Hag can bring success to Old Trafford.

Saha praised the former Ajax manager's start to his tenure at Old Trafford under difficult circumstances - with Cristiano Ronaldo digging his heels in over an exit - and expressed his confidence in the club's prospects this season.

"I think he has so far been United's best signing," Saha told the Daily Mail, courtesy of Bet 365. "The players were out of form but they seem to be coming back stronger and the squad seems to be balanced.

"I would have loved to play under him because he seems to be very strong in what he believes, but at the same time he seems to be very really enjoy listening to players and helping them to improve.

"We can see that players enjoy playing under him, but they still need to run hard, really work hard, but enjoy their football at the same time, so there is a great balance.

"Cristiano [Ronaldo] has been the difficult part, because you have to look for a replacement, but you also have to please the demands of the player because he wants to leave or, or he isn't happy about the guarantees he received."
