Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer confronted Man United manager Erik ten Hag regarding criticism he has faced from the media this season
Match of the Day pundit and former Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer has told Erik ten Hag why he feels Manchester United were rightfully criticised over the course of the campaign.
After the match, Ten Hag spoke to BBC Sport and was asked by Gary Lineker whether he felt he had been unfairly treated by the media. The Dutchman responded: "I think so."The team, me as well, it was not right." Shearer though was quick to argue: "The only thing I would say to that is that you have had a team out there today who have shown a great attitude, who’ve shown great ability, who have won every single tackle.
"There was not always good football, definitely not, but we had to make compromises all the time and then you can’t play the football you want to play. I have been here for two years and probably we had three or four times where we had the full squad on board. "I don’t know but the only thing I am doing is preparing my team, developing my team, progressing my players because for me this is a project," United's boss replied. "When I came in, it was a mess and we are now better but we are far not where we want to be."
