According to an agency, Erik ten Hag has “totally misjudged” the type of players Manchester United requires since the players he has signed are not good enough.
Ten Hag’s team has underperformed this season despite a strong debut campaign at Old Trafford; they currently rank ninth in the Premier League and were eliminated from Europe after placing last in their Champions League. An unidentified agent claims that the coach’s acquisitions have impeded the advancement of his team.
The Athletic was informed by the unnamed representative that Erik “totally misjudged the qualities needed to play in the Premier League.” He is a good coach in my opinion, but he wouldn’t have to worry as much about recruiting if he had a capable sports director at his side, like he had with Marc Overmars at Ajax. Erik and Txiki Begiistain are at United, and Pep Guardiola and Txiki Begiistain are at Manchester City.
The Bigger Picture
Rasmus Hojlund, Andre Onana, and Mason Mount were among the players whom United shelled out on during the summer, and Sofyan Amrabat signed on loan from Fiorentina. The Red Devils haven’t been able to advance to a higher level despite the fresh acquisitions. Following the agreement on Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s half takeover, United supporters will be hoping for a more unified transfer strategy that will lead to greater signings during the January transfer window.
