Fred praises Ten Hag’s tactical ability while discussing Manchester United spell

Former Manchester United midfielder Fred has criticised Erik ten Hag’s work with the team while acknowledging the Dutchman’s qualities as a tactician.

Fred also discussed Ten Hag’s conflict with Cristiano Ronaldo during the manager’s time at Old Trafford.

“Erik ten Hag was a great coach from a tactical point of view,” said Fred.

Ten Hag was Manchester United’s manager from April 2022 until 28 October 2024. During that period, he guided the club to two trophies: the English League Cup and the FA Cup.

Manchester United finished third in the Premier League in Ten Hag’s first season in charge.
