It is often after cohabitation between players and coaches that tongues are loosened on one side. This Friday, it was the former Manchester United midfielder, Fred, who did not mince his words against Erik Ten Hag. Despite a stint marked by a League Cup title and an FA Cup final during the 2022-2023 season, the Brazilian, now at Fenerbahçe, has very bitter memories of his collaboration with the Dutch technician.
In the Charla podcast, the 31-year-old made a harsh statement about the human management of his ex-coach: “ Ten Hag was very good tactically, but with the group, he was a real rubbish. He argued with everyone. He argued with me, with Cristiano, with Casemiro, with Rashford… He didn’t make me play, sometimes it became stressful. With Ten Hag, only his Dutch players played. A trainer corrupted by the clans. But, tactically, one of the best I’ve ever worked with. He wanted the team to be fast, but Cristiano was already older. So he took him out of the starting lineup, and there was an argument. » This is what is said.
