Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has not done a good job at Old Trafford, Louis van Gaal has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, even if MUFC has shown that he can be a good manager, he has simply not done a fantastic job at MUFC thus far.
Van Gaal added that he does not think the Dutch manager should be sacked, but he definitely has to improve.
His word, “Of course, he shouldn’t be sacked. But I also needed more time at Manchester United. I won the FA Cup, and for 20 years before me, no United manager had won it. Now Erik is winning the FA Cup and also qualified for the Champions League in his first year. So I don’t think you have to sack him. He needs more time, but I can also be more critical. He has not done it fantastically—you can give criticism—but he has also shown he is a good manager.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
