Manchester United are under pressure after drawing their first two fixtures in this season's Europa League but manager Ten Hag is looking forward to pitting his wits against Mourinho on Thursday.
Despite leading United to FA Cup glory at the end of last season, Ten Hag is again under intense scrutiny after a poor start to this campaign - they are 11th in the Premier League with just three wins in eight games.
"It's always tough to talk about United right now because back in the day we used to play for the fan, for the badge, for the history," five-time Premier League winner Patrice Evra told the BBC.
"We lose a little bit of those values. I blame myself, I blame Sir Alex Ferguson. When we left, we left too early and it's difficult for the players because they don't have any example. I'm not inside, I don't know what the problem is. The manager Ten Hag is trying to do his best - it's not good enough," he continued.
"But it's not just about this season, it's since we won the last league in 2013, the club has been like in a chaos. I'm a positive man, but it's tough. Our rivals are getting better than us, play a better style of football. The future is not bright. It's a tough moment," Evra concluded.
