Since taking over as manager, Manchester United's Ten Hag has continuously made astonishing statements. Recently, he made another explosive statement in defense of his failed signings. In an interview, Ten Hag claimed that all failed signings were not his responsibility and he should not bear the main blame, instead, the blame should fall on the former football director of Manchester United.
With his position as manager becoming increasingly unstable, rumors of Ten Hag's imminent dismissal are circulating from various sources. Perhaps to defend himself, Ten Hag has become more assertive. One of the major criticisms of Ten Hag is that he spent a lot of money—over £400 million in transfer fees—but failed to produce results, leading to doubts about his managerial abilities.
Facing this criticism, Ten Hag has taken a firm stance, stating that the high transfer fees are not his problem. He said, "The prices Manchester United paid were indeed high, but I am not responsible for that. The club conducted all negotiations, including those with players who had great potential but ultimately did not come. Therefore, people think the club's acquisition policy is disastrous, but reality is much more subtle."
Ten Hag's implication is that Manchester United's negotiator, the former football director John Murtough, needs to take the blame. However, not everyone agrees with Ten Hag's statement, as players like Anthony were strongly requested by Ten Hag to sign, but after joining, Anthony failed to perform at the expected level, let alone justify the €100 million fee. Therefore, this is a problem with the coach's own coaching. |
