Man Utd players warned ahead of Ten Hag impending take over

Ronald De Boer, in a recent statement, has warned Man Utd players ahead of the impending arrival of their incoming manager, Erik ten Hag.

He stressed that the Ajax manager would not be afraid to drop anybody on the bench at Old Trafford.

So far, Ten Hag looks like the favourite to take over at Old Trafford next season after he had an interview with Man Utd decision-makers a few days ago.

Asked if Ten Hag is ready for a big job like United, De Boer, who played alongside Ten Hag for FC Twente during their playing careers – said: “I think yes.

“I think he’s had four years at Ajax and has the experience. He had a small club at Go Ahead Eagles and got them to the Eredivisie.

“He then went to Utrecht and was a mid table team and went to Bayern Munich [second team].

“Is he ready and the right moment to move? Yes, he’s capable enough and experienced enough to make the step.”

When asked if the 52-year-old could handle the job at Old Trafford De Boer added: “I would say at this moment yes. It is something you have to experience.

“He’s focused on what he wants and everybody has to follow that path.

“At Ajax we also have stars, not to the magnitude you have there, but also big stars.

“He can also put them on the bench and I don’t think he’s afraid.”
