Erik Ten Hag reveals the reason why Manchester United don't play like his Ajax

Manchester United is going through an important moment this season, where the club had just won three consecutive games, but unfortunately, things did not end up going their way in the Manchester Derby. Erik Ten Hag's team lost resoundingly to Manchester City by a final score of 3-0. Erik Ten Hag and his company did not manage to establish themselves in the best possible way and the fans were certainly disappointed.

Sir Alex Ferguson retired from coaching as a Premier League champion in the 2012-2013 season with Manchester United. But since then, the Red Devils stopped competing both locally and internationally. During the last 10 years, the club has had eight coaches (if we take into account the interim ones), of which only two have been able to win at least one title: José Mourinho and Erik Ten Hag. These data suggest that Manchester United is still unable to fill the shoes of the historic Dutch coach. In addition, team legends also criticized players like Bruno Fernandes.

“Seeing what I have seen today, I would 100% take away the captaincy. "I know it is a very important decision, after having taken it away from Maguire, but Fernandes is not captain material," said Keane, who recalled when last season, in a 0-5 defeat against Liverpool, Fernandes made gestures of complaint. to his own teammates, not acting like a true captain. An obvious annoyance on the part of the former Manchester United player.

What did Erik Ten Hag say?

The Manchester United coach was asked about his reason why his Manchester United team does not play like Ajax and he responded forcefully. "The players decide how you play. Ajax has a very typical and characteristic style of play, with Manchester United I will always show different football, I did it last year too. Here we play much more direct football because here I have the players for that"
