Erik ten Hag has taken more pelters for Manchester United’s poor performance in the 3-0 loss to Liverpool on Sunday afternoon – with Andy Mitten, host of the Talk of the Devils podcast, stating that he received a message from someone who described United’s tactical setup as ‘criminal’ before stating that the Red Devils boss was completely to blame for their poor league position.
Luis Diaz’s first-half double preceded Mohamed Salah‘s early second-half clincher as the Reds once again made Old Trafford their haven to take them joint-top with Manchester City in the Premier League title race, and barring a late winner over Fulham in the league’s curtain raiser, United really haven’t got going throughout all three of their league matches at present. And that has led to criticism of Ten Hag, who has seen his tactics labelled as ‘criminal’.
Erik Ten Hag Blasted Over Man Utd Tactics
The Red Devils went down without a whimper on Sunday
“I got a message yesterday from someone who does this professionally. I get quite a few people who aren’t allowed to talk publicly, but they’re up there at a high level – I’ll just read you some of the stuff.
“So this is someone who does it for a job, who on the quiet I think has got a soft spot for Manchester United. ‘Andy, what we do in our build-up is criminal. This is on [Erik] Ten Hag. The game plan is absolutely awful and we’re not changing it.
“‘This is such a naive performance, more than I’ve ever seen. Liverpool are clear in the 3-2-2 build-up. They know exactly what they are doing, Manchester United are not even trying to adapt’.
“So I listen to people like this because they know a lot more than I do, because they’re doing it at a professional level.”
