While Erik ten Hag was an embracive positive aura in his first press conference, history shows the Dutchman can also be ruthless in his examinations.
Manchester United fans have seen before how Ten Hag isn’t afraid of firing criticism the way of fellow pros. He had watched on as former Ajax star Donny van de Beek was outcast first by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer then Ralf Rangnick.
Refusing to stay neutral on the issue, he said United were committing a “mortal sin” over their treatment of the midfielder. Their new boss once worked alongside Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola while he was managing Bayern Munich, but now he will become his rival and foe across the red and blue divide.
