Former Manchester United Manager Louis Van Gaal Defends Erik ten Hag
Louis Van Gaal, the former Manchester United manager, has come out in defense of current manager Erik ten Hag, stating that he believes Ten Hag deserves more time at the helm.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Van Gaal shared his thoughts on Ten Hag's performance, highlighting his achievements in his first year as manager. "I won also the FA Cup and before me, 20 years, nobody has won the FA Cup. Now Erik is winning the FA Cup and in the first year also Champions League, so I don't think you have to sack him, he needs more time," Van Gaal said.
Van Gaal, who managed Manchester United from 2014 to 2016, won the FA Cup in 2016, a feat he referenced in his defense of Ten Hag. While acknowledging that Ten Hag has faced criticism, Van Gaal also praised his managerial abilities. "But I can also be more critical, he has not done it fantastically, no, you can be with a lot of criticism, but he has also shown that he's a good manager," Van Gaal added.
