We have reached the 12th episode of The Artful Nutmeg. Today’s episode is near and dear to Tom's heart. We’re of course talking about Manchester United Manager Erik ten Hag. The Dutch manager joined the Reds at the end of the 2021-22 season to turn around the fortunes of the club after what was United’s worst ever season. With this past season being his first year in charge, he has lifted the more storied side of Manchester back into Champions League contention.
