MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester United appointed a new manager in Dutchman Erik ten Hag on Thursday with some very familiar language used to announce his arrival from Ajax.

"During the past four years at Ajax, Erik has proved himself to be one of the most exciting and successful coaches in Europe, renowned for his team’s attractive, attacking football and commitment to youth," said United's football director John Murtough.

The 'Class of 92' under Ferguson created an era of domination of the English game out of a team which won the FA Youth Cup in 1992 and went on to win the Champions League as part of a treble of trophies in 1999. Even in the midst of their current troubles, placed sixth in the league and beaten 4-0 by Liverpool on Tuesday, the club can point to the success of reaching a record 15th FA Youth Cup final -- they will face Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on May 11.

Wayne Rooney was just 18 when Ferguson signed him from Everton, Roy Keane was 21 when he moved to Old Trafford from Nottingham Forest and Rio Ferdinand 23 when he signed from Leeds United. But if United are going to rebuild successfully with younger players next season, they will likely need to provide Ten Hag with hungry talent, proven at a high level.
