Manchester United branded 'a glorified Eredivisie team' while Erik ten Hag criticized for comments with future 'at stake'

Erik ten Hag has been reprimanded for his insistence on Manchester United playing attacking football.

The Red Devils fell short against Man City two weeks ago in a 3-1 defeat, but the Dutchman believed his team had performed well.

A wonderful goal from Mark Rashford It had given them a surprising lead at the Etihad, but they were quickly beaten by their rivals.

The truth is that the 13-time Premier League champions had held on with all their might, with City attempting 27 shots to United's three.

It was a paltry offering with depressing forays into the counter.

But Ten Hag backed his troops and claimed they were only behind Man City by “small margins”.

An article in The Times has suggested that Ten Hag is failing in his attempts to win the manchester united shape.

And when they put comments and quotes on the former Premier League striker Tony Cascarinohe replied damningly: “No, you are wrong. You are very wrong.”

“You are like a glorified Eredivisie team that doesn't play like Manchester United should.

“I just don't see that, and I think that will eventually cost him his job because United has to be a team that literally chases everyone, also in their backyard. Not going there to defend in Liverpoolin Man City, in Chelseaor whoever is a good side.

“United always took the game and I think until they get back there (Ten Hag is under pressure). He doesn't do that.

“United are more of a counter-attacking team, as we saw at the Etihad against Manchester City: they were the second best by far.

“They got a goal lead, a wonderful goal that Rashford scored, but if you take the whole game, they were miles away.”

And he added that the matches against their Merseyside rivals could be decisive for the Dutchman's stay at Old Trafford.

“In the next few weeks we will have Liverpool twice at home,” he continued.

“I think the decision (about Ten Hag's future) is at stake. I imagine if those games go wrong (he could leave). It's not more than 90 minutes, it's about what they've already seen that they will make the decision. about what will happen with Ten Hag next season.”
