Six Manchester United players that turned on Erik ten Hag after leaving

Erik ten Hag hasn't yet been at Manchester United for two years but in some ways it feels like a lifetime.

Although the young attacker hasn't gone as far as to name Ten Hag since leaving, he was happy enough to call him out earlier this season. "Please don't believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week," he wrote online after being left out of the squad to face Arsenal in September.

He also appeared to claim that a lack of meaningful relationships at United played a part. "I believe, personally, it is due to the fact I can reconnect with the fans," he said of why going back to Dortmund was a clear option. "Obviously, there is Edin and Sebastian . There is also obviously Marco and a few other players, so I feel like it was the right decision.

Speaking about the state of United during a fiery interview with Piers Morgan during the 2022 World Cup, the now Al-Nassr forward said: "Some people don't want me here not only this year but last year too." Ten Hag joined in the 'this year' part of that statement, but the cryptic element of his unhappiness didn't last for long.

"Ten Hag is a very approachable guy but is very strict," he said of the boss. "He takes no one bending the rules. He will say it how it is and will punish people if they have done the wrong things." "It was all planned out. I was almost gone before the manager came through the door and I haven't spoken to him since. To be honest with you, it's probably been the toughest 12 months of my career. It's been tough, it's been hard and I'm so happy I've got out the other end of it. I'm so excited to be here and ready to go."

Forward Andreas Pereira was in the same boat. "I didn't speak with Ten Hag," he told ESPN in March 2023. "I know him because I worked with him at PSV but I was determined in my head and maybe if I spoke with the manager again I would stay.
