Upstep Erik ten Hag, the latest man to drink from the poison chalice.
There's no doubt that a club the size of Manchester United, despite the myriad of problems and steady decline over the last decade, remains a tantalising job for managers. Being the man to restore a great club to where it should be and earning legendary status is an alluring prospect but it of course comes with massive risk.
Ten Hag's stock is at its highest as an up and coming coach and he has everything set up for him perfectly at Ajax to allow for him to focus on nothing but making his side as best as it can be. It won't be anywhere near as simple as that at Old Trafford and should he fail then his reputation is liable to take a massive hit.
