According to Ronald de Boer, the disappointing final phase of the FA Cup semi-final match between Manchester United and Coventry City for Manchester United is at least partly due to Erik Ten Hag.
Manchester United embarrassingly gave away a large 0-3 lead against Coventry City on Sunday afternoon. After providing regular playing time, Ronald de Boer points the accusing finger at Ten Hag.
“So amateurish,” De Boer refers to the performance of the United players. The analyst mainly criticizes Ten Hag's exchange policy. According to him, it was too careless to bring key players such as Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho to the side prematurely.
“He kind of did feel-goodsubstitutions, because he wants to keep everyone happy,” says De Boer, who cites Christian Eriksen's substitution, but above all that of Antony, as an illustrative example.
“And of course you also think: that should be possible, but in my opinion: change Garnacho for Antony, who doesn't show anything at all… Ten Hag will be blamed for that,” De Boer is already preparing the former Ajax coach for the buckets. with criticism he will probably receive in England.
“I'm curious to see how it will turn out, but I have my heart set on Erik,” De Boer refers to the match, but possibly also to the near future of Ten Hag in Manchester.
There seemed to be no problem for Manchester United, who surprisingly allowed their opponent to come back. After a goal from Ellis Simms and a lucky goal from Callum O'Hare, Haji Wright sent Onana the wrong way from eleven meters, completing Coventry's unprecedented comeback: 3-3.
