Erik ten Hag told key Man United fail as Carragher uses Mikel Arteta example

Although Erik ten Hag has a better record than Mikel Arteta during their first two seasons in charge, Jamie Carragher insists there is one key thing missing for Manchester United.

READ MORE: Manchester United have already answered Graham Potter manager question after latest decisionTen Hag's record is slightly better than the Spanish boss. In 73 games in charge of Arsenal, Arteta lost 24 of those, while Ten Hag won five more. United drew less times than the Gunners and although they had 16 less goals conceded than United , they scored five fewer than Ten Hag's side .

"The first point to make is the context under which both were appointed. Arteta had never managed before taking over at Arsenal. Stan Kroenke took a risk by hiring a 37-year-old and in doing so committed the club to a long-term vision. Arteta was his man, and there is no point headhunting such a young coach and getting rid after the first two years of extensive rebuilding.

"Unlike Arteta’s transfer picks, Ten Hag’s decisions backfired terribly, especially the signings of Antony and Casemiro. United have been regularly outclassed by rivals, losing 6-3 against Manchester City and 7-0 to Liverpool, while struggling against mid-table Premier League teams too."
