Former Sir Alex Ferguson assistant Rene Meulensteen believes Erik ten Hag has forced Manchester United to drop back too far in defence and should be more aggressive.

    Despite winning the FA Cup last season, their eighth-place finish in the league. The lowest of any Premier League club, was heavily criticised, with Meulensteen suggesting Ten Hag was too defensive and the team needed to be more attacking สมัคร ufabet .

    “I’ve seen the frustration Erik ten Hag has had as Manchester United manager,” Meulensteen told BoyleSports. “When he closes his eyes, he’s asking himself why United can’t play the same way they did when he is at Ajax.”

    “I knew him well when he was at Ajax and the two were two different things. He said he didn’t have the players to play like that. But I think he had too much of a defensive attitude rather than a forward attitude.”

    “They have to play aggressively and put pressure on the opposition, forcing them to make mistakes and lose possession quickly. Man United have players who can attack the opposition but they drop too deep and there is too much distance between the defence and the attack.” but I think he had too much of a defensive attitude rather than a forward attitude.”
