Erik ten Hag has kept his counsel on Manchester United for two years since his sacking in October 2024, but the affection he built up for the club while winning two trophies still shines through when he speaks.
Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag reflected on his Old Trafford tenure, discussing broken promises from club leadership, transfer frustrations, and dressing room challenges. Ten Hag revealed that the club failed to honor commitments made in summer 2024, notably regarding backing and the sale of midfielder Scott McTominay to Napoli. He also criticized the lack of support regarding player discipline and addressed his handling of high-profile squad members, including Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ten Hag detailed missed recruitment targets, confirming his failed pursuits of Declan Rice and Frenkie de Jong to resolve long-standing squad issues. Despite his sacking in October 2024 following a 2-1 defeat to West Ham United, Ten Hag expressed pride in winning two trophies, calling the 2024 FA Cup final victory against Manchester City the best moment of his Manchester career.
