During the build-up to Manchester United’s Premier League game against Brentford on Monday evening, Sky Sports’ punditry trio of Jamie Carragher, Gary Neville and Roy Keane discussed the impending arrival of new boss Erik ten Hag.

Tasked with restoring the club back to its competitive days, the Dutch tactician must first work out a way to get the side back firing and Carragher believes it is something that can be achieved within three seasons.
