Former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Tim Sherwood has hit out at Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag for dropping two Red Devils stars (Kobbie Mainoo and Hannibal Mejbri) and attempting to sell two more – Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire.
Sherwood believes Ten Hag should be doing a lot better with the players available as he criticised the Dutchman for not playing two of Man United’s most promising youngsters, Mainoo and Mejbri.
Man United have not been so impressive so far this season.
Ten Hag’s side currently sit in the seventh position on the Premier League table ahead of their Sunday’s clash with Liverpool at Anfield.
“I’m not sure the players know what the process is. I’m sure he [Ten Hag] does,” Sherwood said on Sky Sports.
“He makes all the right noises, he keeps himself very calm and he’s a good talker. He needs to get a performance out of his side because at the moment there’s no style of play. There is no improving of any individuals.
“I scratch my head when I look at the boy Hannibal [Mejbri]. A couple of months ago, he got back in the team, was outstanding and left out as soon as a ‘superstar’, like Amrabat or whoever, became fit.
“Kobbie Mainoo – who was outstanding when he came in – exactly the same has happened to him.”
He added, “He’s had two players in Scott McTominay and Maguire who he wanted to get rid of and they are the two who have really stood up and tried to get him out of the mire.”
“When you lose to Bournemouth at home, it’s unacceptable no matter what team you put out. We know they’ve got injuries and they tell us about them all the time. Every single club in the Premier League has got injuries.
“Keep your mouth shut, work on the training pitch and get them players to perform for that badge. At the moment they are not.”
