The Man United manager Ten Hag was not thrilled by this journalist’s inquiry from the Netherlands.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, retaliated angrily against a journalist who questioned his remarks regarding the ‘dynamic’ manner his club plays.
As new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe considers the 54-year-old’s future at the team this summer, pressure is mounting on him.
With four games remaining, United is now one point ahead of an impressive Newcastle United team in sixth place in the Premier League.
The Red Devils’ most recent matchup was against Burnley, a team fighting for relegation.
United was dominated for significant portions of the match by the squad, who are presently ranked 19th in the English Premier League, under the direction of manager and former Manchester City player Vincent Kompany.
With two minutes remaining, a penalty kick by Zeki Amdouni wiped Manchester United’s lead, which had gradually grown into the match thanks to Brazilian winger Antony.
Following the disappointing draw against the Clarets, Ten Hag made some divisive remarks about his team.
“After the draw against Burnley, he told the BBC that we are one of the most exciting and dynamic teams in the league right now.”
“By playing excellent football, we are generating a tonne of opportunities. All teams forfeit games. However, it is strange when it is up to us.”
Speaking ahead of Monday Night Football’s matchup with Crystal Palace, Ten Hag defended his team’s assertions and argued with a Dutch journalist who raised doubts about them.
Ten Hag reacted angrily when Koen Weijland of Viaplay requested for clarification on the “dynamic” remarks. He answered, “If you would do your research.” “Our research shows that we have a very dynamic attacking play style.
“I’m merely attempting to clarify that for you.
“If you did your job, you would see that we are the team that is currently the most attractive and vertical team in the entire Premier League in terms of speed and movement.”
Weijland continued, saying that the team’s attractiveness is a matter of opinion. Ten Hag answered that he was amused by the team’s recent matches against Chelsea and Liverpool, and the journalist acknowledged that he was.
Ten Hag continued, “Then we agree.” “We have taken an aggressive stance in our recent games, particularly when it comes to the impartial onlooker.
We both generate and give up a lot of chances. It’s entertaining to see and it’s open.”
