Why Erik ten Hag is too Focused on Dutch Players to Rebuild Manchester United
Head coach Erik ten Hag is too focused on mainly Dutch players to Rebuild Manchester United. English Premier League club Man Utd are trying to sign Netherlands left-back Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Frenkie De Jong, and Jurrien Timber.
Ten Hag is eager to sign players who will fit for his strategy, so it doesn’t matter if they’re Dutch, Brazilians, or maybe Africans as long as they are not overated English players namely Harry maguire, Jack Grealish, or Declan Rice,
Give ETH his respect to achieve what he intends to. Football was invented long before the premier league, and truly is a global game.
It’s actually pretty smart to buy some top players from the eredivisie or french league for instance, rather then overpriced englishmen from the premier league or la Liga. I think that was the whole problem the past few years. 15 million euros is an absolute bargain and no brainer for a 22 year old dutch international Malacia.
Why Erik ten Hag is too Focused on Dutch Players to Rebuild Manchester United
Manchester United managers love dutch players
Many Dutch managers have always signed dutch players. LVG and Cruyff did it at every club they were at. If the dutch players are good, they will perform. It’s true that it’s not a Strong League, but sometimes when a player struggles, it doesn’t always translate to the notion that it’s because they came from an Inferior league or that the Players are bad Players. Sometimes it’s about the system. According to ESPN’s Mark Ogden’s logic, Premier League Clubs should only sign players from La Liga because it’s on par with the Premier.
I don’t think Ogden has ever played football before.
Arsène Wenger had a lot of success with Dutch players over the years. It’s all about the system, Wenger’s Arsenal were soft, but they were a joy to watch, that was during a time when the prem was even more physical than it’s today. A lot of so called weak players have thrived under Pep’s system in recent years, David Silva as a perfect example.
Erik is interested in DUTCH league players like Antony and Malacia who are going to be receptive to his ideas, they are coachable .
More reasons why Ten Hag is concentrating on Dutch (league) players
Frenkie de Jong is a no brainer, he is the most important player in the Dutch team and he has the athleticism and engine to cope with the PL. I think the dynamics and spaces of the PL might actually suit him better than the more static game in Spain and at Barca in particular. He is nothing like Donny, I never understood that they paid so much for him.
Malacia is a talented player and he has the tenacity that a lot of players from Holland lack. At the price that is quoted, I can understand them going for that.
De Jong to Manchester United Transfer
Timber is a great talent, but he needs one or two years to be ready for the absolute top tier that ManU aspire.. Martinez is a good player, but he is short and not lightning fast. how he would cope with the intensity and power of PL strikers? He had a good last season, but the season before, Ten Hag hardly played him at Ajax. Anthony Matheus is a fun player to watch but i am not sure about his overall effectiveness. I guess you could compare him to Raphinha, but at least Raphinha has been in the PL already.
Mr. Bombaz disagrees with Mark Ogden very much especially on players coming from Dutch League. They’ve struggled with the physicality in the beginning. Nevermind the Van Persie’s and many more Dutch greats that graced the PL, Ji Sung Park like Donny is, was getting knocked off the ball all the time, but then transformed after over a year struggling in the League , he became a player trusted in the hardest games. Every Manager taps into their expertise and that’s one of their own, they would have better Intel and understanding of players from their home countries or former leagues where they saw these players more.
Summary of Why Erik ten Hag is too Focused on Dutch Players to Rebuild Manchester United
In fact, top ballers come from all the Leagues in Europe and the World to showcase their credentials on the World Stage through the PL. Let’s wait and see. LUKE Shaw will be a back up to Malacia in 18 months.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
