Erik ten Hag ‘a broken record’ as four Man Utd stars destroyed after Galatasaray

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is “like a broken record” as he saw his team suffer their sixth loss of the season. Former Aston Villa star Gabriel Agbonlahor has hit out at the Dutch manager and singled out four players for savage criticism following the defeat to Galatasaray.

United lost their second Champions League group stage match in a row despite leading twice at Old Trafford. A brace from Rasmus Hojlund was not enough to earn the Red Devils their first point in this year’s competition.

Mauro Icardi fluffed his lines from the penalty spot after Casemiro was sent off. But the Argentine strike made amends to score the winner in the 81st minute.

Agbonlahor can’t see United sacking Ten Hag yet but admits he is under pressure. The pundit hit out at Casemiro following his red card and had some choice words for centre-back pairing Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof, and full-back Diogo Dalot.

Agbonlahor told talkSPORT: “I don’t think he’s in danger of losing his job but he’s definitely under pressure. You listen to those press conferences after the game and it’s like a broken record now.

“‘The players have got my support, the players this…’. Sort these players out because they’re not playing well enough.

“You look at yesterday, Varane doesn’t look like the same Varane that Real Madrid had. Even Paul Scholes on punditry duty said the same. His legs look like they’ve gone, doesn’t look like he’s got the pace anymore, always injured.

“Lindelof is soft, Dalot can’t defend, Casemiro started the game well yesterday but gets overrun again against that Galatasaray midfield. The only plus at the moment for Manchester United is the star [Hojlund] up front.”

Ten Hag spent big in the summer, as he did in his first transfer window in charge. Agbonlahor says he has no one else to blame but himself for his team’s results.

He added: “This is 100 per cent his team. He spent £422million in three transfer windows. He joined the club in May 2022, this is his team.

“And when you spend that kind of money, you make big decisions. [Cristiano] Ronaldo left which was the right decision I thought, the decision to take the captaincy off [Harry] Maguire, big decision, [Jadon] Sancho’s situation, big decision.

“You only get away with these big decisions when you’re winning games. When you start losing, Manchester United have lost what, six games, seven games this season?”
