Ten Hag has sometimes showed tactical brilliance, but his ego is out of control. He enjoys taking credit for successes. Narcissism, not leadership. See Ronaldo and Sancho. World-class athletes wanted to leave Ten Hag's poisonous atmosphere. Not being able to connect with elite players is a huge red flag for a manager
It's not just egos. Also problematic is Ten Hag's tactical inflexibility. Regardless, he'll stick to his system. Adapt sometimes, guy. Study the space. Don't force your ideas on a failing game. Thus, while Ten Hag may know the game, his ego and stubbornness are holding this team back. Sadly, Manchester United deserves better
Even if he sometimes can show brilliant tactics but it is not enough because he mostly applied bad tactics last season. If he more often used brilliant tactics, Man United should finish in the UCL zone. Luckily, Man United still can play in Europa league. Yes, he is a bit egoistic and too serious, seems not like a friendly coach. I think he must change it if he wants to have a batter relationship with all Man United players.
