Erik ten Hag “delivered nothing” and “looked lost” as he watched his Manchester United side lose their Premier League opener.
That’s the view of former Sky Sports anchor Richard Keys, who says the Dutchman hasn’t changed a thing since replacing Ralf Rangnick at the start of the summer. Hopes that Ten Hag could kick-off his reign with a positive result were quickly dismissed as a well-drilled and high-energy Brighton side put United to the sword, winning 2-1 to record their first ever Old Trafford victory.
For all of the talk of ruthless revolution, it was more of the same for United, with the likes of Scott McTominay, Fred and Harry Maguire all enduring difficult afternoons. Ten Hag was given a glimpse at the scale of the task on his hands, but fans won’t be pushing the panic button yet with hopes of further reinforcements on the way.
