Erik ten Hag tells Man Utd to get him a pad to call home - unlike Jose Mourinho

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is demanding that the club set him up in a proper home ahead of the new season so he doesn't have to live out of a suitcase like former manager Jose Mourinho.The Dutchman is planning a lengthy stay in Manchester and wants everything to begin without a hitch as he looks to turn the club's fortunes around, following their worst ever finish in the Premier League.It's understood that he's been very forthright with his bosses, handing them a long list of requirements for him to be able to carry out his job properly - including specifications on where he lives.Funnily enough, the home Ten Hag wants - a £2 million luxury penthouse in Salford - is just yards away from Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola's, which could bring a whole new meaning to the 'Noisy Neighbours' tag Sir Alex Ferguson famously thrust upon City back in 2009.A United insider revealed: "Ten Hag feels it is important to be immersed in the local culture and has plenty of interests away from football."He knows Pep very well from their days working together at Bayern Munich and will be close enough to pop round for a cup of sugar if he needs it!"If Ten Hag and Guardiola had a movie night together what do you think they'd watch? Let us know in the comments section. During his two-and-a-half year spell in charge of United, Mourinho opted against buying a house and spent his entire tenure in the Lowry Hotel, leading fans to question his long-term commitment to the club.Ten Hag is keen to avoid the same mistake and wants to properly immerse himself into the hustle-and-bustle of Manchester - just as he did in Amsterdam, where he reportedly lived above a supermarket near the city centre.
