We all know it is too early to judge Erik ten Hag’s performance at Bayer Leverkusen, but still, I don’t want us to forget his performance at Manchester United, which is the same thing that I am afraid of happening at Bayer Leverkusen. We all know how it started, and we kept giving him more time to see if there would be changes, but it just kept getting worse than before. Although I won’t compare the pressure in both leagues, because it’s different, I still don’t have much hope in Erik to do better.
This is the major point. We still can not forget Manchester United's performance. Day by day we have seen a squad destroyed because of Ten Hag. Ten Hag has wasted a lot of money. He has bought all the players who paid huge transfer fees and they have not played well in a single match in Manchester United's jersey. And that is why no one can trust Ten Hag.
I don't know why the management at Leverkusen has made Ten Hag the manager. Can't they find someone more experienced? Leverkusen performed atrociously against Flamengo. I have serious doubts whether Leverkusen will be in the top 4 of the table next season.
That is the same thing I am afraid of, them not being in the top four this season. If we are to compare how Erik ten Hag destroyed Manchester United’s performance, then all the effort that Xabi Alonso put into Bayer Leverkusen will be in vain. There is no hope that Erik will do something better. If you lose your first game with a new team as a coach in the pre-season, then what will you do when the season starts? Although the management has given him a chance, we will see what he will do. But I don’t think he will finish this season as Bayer Leverkusen’s coach.
