Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says he leans on Sir Alex Ferguson for "inspiration".

Ten Hag admits he went into the job "aware" of the club's problems since Ferguson's retirement.

He told The Times: "We were aware of it.

"I informed myself. After Sir Alex left, the culture changed over the years. One of the biggest qualities Sir Alex had was to have high standards. I wanted to bring it back in, so that everyone in this organisation lives the highest standards and the football players too.

"I talk to Sir Alex regularly. He gives his opinion and I'm happy to have that opinion. With all his experiences and his intelligence it's really valuable to talk with him. From Sir Alex, I learn a lot because he's such a legend. It gives me inspiration, how to manage."
