Former West Ham United striker Carlton Cole has criticised Manchester United's players for voicing an opinion on who they believe should become the club's next permanent manager.
As exclusively revealed by the Manchester Evening News on Monday, some United players have doubts about Ajax boss Erik ten Hag taking over at Old Trafford, with sources close to the players claiming that they believe it would be an 'underwhelming' appointment. However, other figures within the dressing room are understood to be excited about the prospect of working with the Dutchman.
Ten Hag, who was interviewed for the job last month, is United's preferred candidate to take over this summer and has been installed as the overwhelming favourite to succeed Ralf Rangnick this summer. The 52-year-old has overseen a brilliant job at Ajax in the last few years and has earned the opportunity to take charge of one of Europe's big-name giants.
