Fred tears apart Man United boss hired by the Glazers – ‘He’d argue with everyone’

Former Manchester United midfielder Fred has sharply criticized former manager Erik ten Hag's squad management during an appearance on the Charla Podcast. Fred claimed that while Ten Hag was tactically exceptional, he frequently clashed with players including Cristiano Ronaldo, Casemiro, Marcus Rashford, and himself, alleging the manager favored Dutch players.

Fred, who left Manchester United for Fenerbahce in 2023, spent five seasons at Old Trafford. Ten Hag was dismissed by United in October 2024, followed by a brief stint at Bayer Leverkusen, before becoming the sporting director at Twente in February 2026.
