Tim Sherwood: 'Erik ten Hag is taking Manchester United backwards'

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood has hit out at Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag, claiming that the Dutchman "has taken the club backwards".

The 53-year-old took charge of the 20-time English champions last summer, and he boasts a record of 49 wins, nine draws and 18 defeats from his 73 matches at the helm.

Ten Hag led Man United to a third-place finish in last season's Premier League, while he ended the club's trophy drought by leading them to the EFL Cup trophy.

The Red Devils have struggled for form this season, losing six of their 11 matches in all competitions, while a total of 12 points from eight matches has left them in 10th spot in the Premier League table.

Ten Hag is still believed to have the full support of the club despite the team's problems this term, but Sherwood has claimed that the Dutchman 'is not doing enough'.

"Ten Hag has taken the club backwards and I don't believe what he is doing is good enough," Sherwood told William Hill's No Tippy Tappy Football podcast.

Man United managed to record a 2-1 victory over Brentford before the international break, with Scott McTominay netting a stoppage-time brace to secure a huge three points for the Red Devils.

However, Sherwood has said that the late goals 'do not make him a better manager', while he also insisted that the Glazer family cannot be blamed for the team's poor results.

"I don't think those late goals make him a better manager and we have to think the same about him as we would if they had lost the game. Ten Hag is not judging players equally and he's just chucking people onto the pitch and hoping one of the superstars wins him the match," he said.

"When people talk about the Glazers being the problem at Manchester United it's almost like a get out of jail free card.

"It doesn't matter about the owners or the chief executive. What matters is that their set of players got outplayed by a team towards the bottom of the league, and that has happened multiple times this season. That is down to the manager."

Sections of Man United supporters continue to protest against the Glazers and that will remain the case in the coming months, as the American owners are set to remain in majority control.

Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani had been looking to complete a 100% takeover, but the Qatari banker has now withdrawn from the process.

British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to purchase 25% of the Red Devils for a fee in the region of £1.4bn, with his deal expected to go through in the coming weeks. body check tags ::
