Former player Dwight Yorke thinks that Erik ten Hag deserves criticism about MU’s performance, and defends De Gea when his position is threatened.

People say that MU has played better under Erik ten Hag, the team that won the League Cup and is ranked 4th in the NHA. But it is a fact that MU has lost 9 matches in the Premier League this season, more than Ole Solskjaer’s losses in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons. I know we are optimistic about the progress this season but the results are still not good compared to what Solskjaer has done. Ten Hag is a good coach, but when the results are not good he deserves the same criticism as any other coach ,” Sportskeeda quoted Dwight Yorke as saying.

Two consecutive defeats against Brighton and West Ham have caused coach Erik ten Hag to face many criticisms. He was compared with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – the Norwegian coach who brought MU to 3rd and 2nd place in the rankings in the first two seasons of leadership. In the number one tournament in the foggy country this season, MU received 9 defeats. The number that coach Ten Hag has with the current Old Trafford team is worse than Solskjaer in both seasons 2019/20 (8 defeats) and 2020/21 (6 defeats) he holds the Red Devils.

Ten Hag has more defeats with MU in the Premier League than during Solskjaer’s time, that’s true. But the Dutch teacher helped the Red Devils win the title, and Solskjaer did not, that is also true. That’s why all comparisons become lame, especially in the context that the season has not ended and no one can say anything when Ten Hag can still win the FA Cup if he beats Man. City in the final.

Contrary to the opinion of Ten Hag, Dwight Yorke praised the goalkeeper who was losing at MU – De Gea. “I have never seen a better goalkeeper than David de Gea, even when he makes mistakes he is still one of the best goalkeepers over the years. I really don’t think there are many better goalkeepers in the world than De Gea.” The Spanish goalkeeper is said to no longer guarantee the main catch after a series of silly mistakes in recent times.
