Gary Neville suggests Erik ten Hag has made same mistake as Man Utd predecessors

Gary Neville has suggested that new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has fallen into the same trap as those who've gone before him.

Ten Hag lost his first Premier League match in charge on Sunday, as the Red Devils produced an abject performance and were condemned to a dreadful 2-1 defeat at home to Brighton & Hove Albion. Neville reckons that the United boss has already made the same mistake as the likes of Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick on his quest to bring back the glory days to Old Trafford.

"Every new coach that comes in thinks they can do better with the players that are there than the last coach because they believe they're a better coach and that's probably the case with this," the Red Devils legend told Sky Sports post-match. "But the reality is he's probably seen what those players are today."
