West Ham manager David Moyes has admitted he has been impressed by Erik ten Hag’s impact at Manchester United.

Moyes, who lasted only eight months as Manchester United manager before being fired, is back at Old Trafford with West Ham on Wednesday.

With a first trophy secured after winning the League Cup, Ten Hag has already surpassed David Moyes, who succeeded United great Alex Ferguson in 2013.

“I think he’s done a great job,” David Moyes said about Ten Hag ahead of the FA Cup game with West Ham on Wednesday.

“I think Manchester United are a side which are used to success and I think that Manchester United are climbing the ladder back up towards where they want to be.

“I can only look from a distance and admire him for the good work he’s doing at Manchester United.”
