“I can’t fold my hands seeing such player wasting his talent under an inexperienced coach like Erik ten Hag and as a result, I have personally advised him to leave there immediately because under Erik ten Hag he won’t win any major trophy”: Fc Twente coach says he has personally advised ONE particular Man United’s player who’s Bigger to be managed Erik ten Hag to leave immediately
Erik ten Hag has been slammed for a moment he had with a Manchester United player during their disappointing draw against Twente.
Man United began their Europa League campaign with a 1-1 draw with Twente on Wednesday.
Christian Eriksen opened the scoring before committing a mistake that saw Sam Lammers lash home to earn his side a point at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag rang the changes in a bid to turn the game around as he brought on Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund.
Not to mention Alejandro Garnacho, with Dutch legend Ruud Gullit hitting out at Ten Hag for talking to him just before the winger entered the fray.
“I saw Erik ten Hag talking to Garnacho all the time,” he said. “The only thing a player is thinking during a moment like that is: ‘Dude, leave me alone’.”
Garnacho replaced Amad Diallo in the 67th minute but was unable to inspire the Red Devils to victory.
On how they played, Gullit added: “I am not surprised by the football Manchester United showed tonight. Why not? Because we are used to it by now… How many millions did Erik ten Hag invest in his team again?”
It’s now back-to-back draws across all competitions for Man United as Ten Hag bemoaned his side’s second-half showing against Twente.
“We kept them alive, 1-0 up, controlling the game – you have to be consistent and keep going,” he told TNT Sports. “In the second half, we dropped the level [and] gave the goal away.
“We didn’t finish it off; we had to go for the second goal, and so they stay alive, and we get punished with a mistake from ourselves.”
