In light of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s criticism of certain aspects of the Manchester United dressing room, Erik ten Hag maintains that managers have a duty to adapt to their players.
In certain games, Solskjaer made reference to “petty” members of “Gen Z,” or people born in the 1990s and early 2010s, who asked not to captain United. The Norwegian mentioned the difficulties he faced in leading millennials when he said that there were “snowflakes” in the United dressing room last year.
After declaring he had “no respect” for the Dutchman, Ten Hag had serious problems with Cristiano Ronaldo, who forced his way out of United. After publicly accusing the manager of lying about his matchday squad omission against Arsenal in September, Ten Hag also benched Jadon Sancho from the first team.
Ten Hag responded to questions concerning Solskjaer’s remarks by saying, “There were obviously issues but I think as a manager you have to adjust to the time and adjust to the generation.” “Don’t think they’ll get used to you.
“As a manager or coaching staff, you must adapt to a new generation.” To effectively coach someone, you must first understand their way of living, thinking, and feeling.
As a result, we must address it, choose the best course of action, acquire the best methodology, and inspire them. It is distinct from Ajax and not the same. I enjoy being here, though. I enjoy working with the players in this dressing room because I like their personalities and characters.
Refer to “Making him a team captain will solve all the problems” as well. Rio Ferdinand believes that Man United’s problems can be resolved by appointing a superstar worth €75,000,000 to replace Bruno Fernandes as team captain. Solskjaer hinted that certain players lacked the confidence to speak with him directly, preferring to have “other people come up to me and say it.”
Ten Hag felt sympathy for his longtime predecessor. “I believe that being a team these days is much harder. Gamers are much more independent individuals, and everyone around them runs their own businesses and business units. In the past 15 to 20 years, the biggest change has been building it as a team.
