Erik ten Hag criticizes Manchester United's broken promises

Erik ten Hag, who served as the manager of Manchester United from 2022 to 2024, revealed that the club broke promises made to him regarding loyalty, backing, and communication. He expressed disappointment particularly over the sale of Scott McTominay to Napoli, stating he had an understanding with the club that McTominay would remain due to his scoring record and mindset.

Ten Hag described feeling "ashamed and angry" about this decision. He also criticized the club for fostering a toxic culture in the dressing room by allowing players too much influence.

Ten Hag raised concerns about the compatibility of former Real Madrid players Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane, and Casemiro with his team-building process. He disclosed that his top transfer targets included Frenkie de Jong, Declan Rice, and Harry Kane, but United failed to secure these players.

Despite his criticisms, Ten Hag reiterated his desire for Manchester United to return to success.
