Ten Hag was in a generous mood at the final whistle against Newport and, after completing his media duties, made a point of handing over a gift to his opposite number. The luxury red wine in question was recommended by legendary United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, but it is seemingly not to the taste of those in South Wales.
WHAT TEN HAG SAID
Ten Hag said to Coughlan when passing over a £200 bottle of Antinori Tignanello: “We have a small gift for you.” Dublin-born Coughlan responded by saying: “Brilliant. You know I don't drink wine, I drink Budweiser.” Ten Hag tried to talk him round by adding: “Really, Budweiser? American beer? But this is a really very good one chosen by Sir Alex so maybe your wife will enjoy it. Maybe take a taste, I think you will like it. Well done for tonight.”
