Former Manchester United legends are calling for the dismissal of Erik ten Hag from his managerial role at the club.
After West Ham’s convincing win against Manchester United, Paul Scholes criticized Erik ten Hag for his “naive” approach in away games, pointing out ongoing issues against stronger opponents.
United has struggled in away matches under Ten Hag, including recent losses to West Ham, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Newcastle. Scholes expressed concern about the tactical approach, particularly the use of one holding midfielder in away games against top teams.
The unexpected inclusion of 19-year-old defender Willy Kambwala in the starting lineup for the West Ham match raised further questions.
The defeat intensifies the pressure on Ten Hag, who now faces increased scrutiny, especially with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s potential acquisition of a twenty-five percent share in the club.
As the January transfer window approaches, Ten Hag’s strategic adjustments and ability to address away-game struggles become crucial for United’s success.
Paul Scholes’ criticism highlights an ongoing concern regarding Manchester United’s performances in tough away fixtures under Erik ten Hag. The choice to field Willy Kambwala, a relatively inexperienced defender, adds to the scrutiny of Ten Hag’s tactics, particularly in crucial matches. With mounting pressure and Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s potential involvement at the club, Ten Hag’s ability to adapt and find solutions to United’s away-game struggles will be vital in the coming months, especially as the January transfer window approaches.
