Kevin-Prince Boateng believes Manchester United should consider sacking their manager, Erik ten Hag. The club has had a poor start to the season, with four losses in seven Premier League games, and were beaten by Bayern Munich in their Champions League opener.
Boateng believes that ten Hag is not the right man for the job, citing the lack of energy and fire he has seen from the team. He has also been critical of the Dutchman’s handling of both Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho during his time at Old Trafford.
“He was the top scorer and he just kicked him out, he goes against the best player in the team, you don’t do that, you have to give him respect. There’s ways to let a player off and I think he chose the wrong way,” Boateng said of ten Hag’s decision to get rid of Ronaldo.
Boateng has also expressed his opinion on the bust-up between Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho. He believes both of them are wrong, but that the situation should have been handled better.
“You just need to sit down with the player and tell him honestly what you think, what he has to do, the player says what he has to do, then he leaves or stays there and gives everything,” Boateng said.
He also believes that Sancho made the wrong choice in joining United, as it has become too much of a comfort zone for him. “In Dortmund he didn’t have anyone around and look how he performed, he was flying because he was focusing on football. Now he has excuses,” he said.
Boateng concluded that both sides need to find a solution in order to avoid the situation continuing to become more negative. “You as a player don’t give the chance to attack you,” he said.
