Club refused similar pleas from Van Gaal and MourinhoRoy Keane appears in advert for club’s new third kit
Erik ten Hag had his request granted for a bespoke players’ lounge to be created at Old Trafford, after Manchester United refused similar proposals from the manager’s predecessors José Mourinho and Louis van Gaal.
The facility was signed off by the United chief operating officer, Collette Roche, after Ten Hag said it would help matchday preparation. Converting prime hospitality space in the stadium’s south stand will cost millions in lost revenue, some of which the club will recoup by no longer having to pay for The Lowry hotel as its pre-match base.
