Erik ten Hag should go Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal must “look at himself” in light of his assertions that his team plays good football, according to club veteran Jaap Stam

Legendary Manchester United coach Jaap Stam has delivered a scathing assessment of Erik ten Hag’s play as Red Devils manager, stating that the Dutchman must depart the club.

Having finished in third place during his first season at Old Trafford, Ten Hag came into last season hoping to continue his rising star status.

Unfortunately, United’s campaign was more of a mixed bag than a mixed bag of results, because to off-field drama involving players like Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.His defense was severely decimated by injury, and the team won just one Champions League game, finishing bottom of their group for the first time in nearly twenty years. They also had their worst-ever Premier League finish.

Ten Hag’s FA Cup victory saved him from what appeared to be an inevitable dismissal by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, giving him a second chance to shape the team in his image despite his lackluster play. United will host Fulham on Friday to start the new Premier League season. On the eve of the season, Stam told Simon Jordan on his William Hill podcast ‘Up Front with Simon Jordan’ that his compatriot needs to leave the club, even though he only signed a new one-year extension last month.

‘I believe Ten Hag needs to go. This is his third season at United,’ Stam told Jordan. He still requires that extra push, so I’m glad he renewed his contract.

He should reflect on his own performance and the results of previous season; I disagree with him on occasion when he claims they played good football.

Being optimistic about your players and easing their burden is an important part of being a manager, and I get that. Having said that, it’s also important for managers to be forthright when their teams play poor football.

He has to be more consistent this season; the club’s coaching has changed a lot, and I’m interested to see how things pan out for them.According to Stam, it should come as no surprise that two of the Premier League’s biggest clubs have appointed Dutch managers to their executive positions.

According to Stam, “you just need to look at how they performed in Holland,” which explains why Erik ten Hag and Arne Slot are managing two of the Premier League’s top clubs.
