Would life at Spurs look any different currently if Erik ten Hag got the job after Jose Mourinho was dismissed in 2021, as he nearly did?

Erik ten Hag has helped steer a sinking ship in Manchester United back on a path towards the top, though throwing away another two-goal lead on Thursday suggests he's a work in progress.
