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.
Actually narcissism shouldn't be a part of a coach personality. Ronaldo and Sancho shouldn't leave Man United because of bad relationship with the coach. Ten Hag never gives them time to play, it is something very strange because they are top players. Maybe it is true that the egoistic of Ten Hag makes him difficult to see the potential of big players.
It cannot be denied that Ten Hag has been proven to have a very high ego, which has the potential for friction with the players, Sancho is a clear example in this case. Apart from his high ego, in Sancho view, Ten Hag is also favoritism. Good managers should be those who can protect their players fairly. Next season, the Europa League trophy will be on Ten Hag priority list, where the chances of United competing for trophies in the Premier League are relatively low. If Ten Hag again fails to bring United to a consistent performance in the first half of the season, I think he will immediately be kicked out by the club top officials.
