The flat cap-loving footie boss, 53, was in Altrincham, Gtr Manchester, a week after his side had a close shave in a 2-2 draw in Barcelona.

They face the Spanish giants again tonight in the second leg of their Europa League knockout.

United enter the critical clash unbeaten in a month.

On Tuesday the Dutch coach had a meeting with Old Trafford legend Sir Alex Ferguson.

The pair were seen deep in conversation over dinner in Cibo restaurant in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

Sir Alex is a huge admirer of ten Hag and what he has done for the club since taking charge in the summer.

He believes that the Dutchman has taken the control of the team and the squad that has been needed.

Ten Hag is currently steering the Red Devils to trophy chances on four fronts.

And Sir Alex, who won United the treble in 1999, was clearly happy to share his wisdom on football and the club itself over dinner.
