Erik ten Hag has overseen Man United's worst start to a season for 61 years and while the Dutchman is somewhat to blame, there are plenty of problems above him.
Erik ten Hag has a multitude of issues to fix at Manchester United but some things are beyond his control and Louis van Gaal had warned his compatriot of problems his head in the club hierarchy.
Gary Neville has been among several former Reds to look above Ten Hag, with those eyes generally glaring towards the Glazers. The American family have overseen a decade of failure since Sir Alex Ferguson's 2013 retirement, running United like anything but a football club.ALSO READ: United are morphing into their David Moyes tweet
"Erik ten Hag is a great coach and that is always good for Manchester United," Van Gaal said in March 2022. "But Manchester United are a commercial club, so it's a difficult choice for a coach. He'd better go to a football club. I'm not going to advise him, he'll call me himself. But he must choose a football club and not a commercial club."
"I take responsibility for it," he said. "I see it as a challenge, I'm a fighter, I am in the fight and I have to make sure I share the responsibility with the players that we stick together, fight together and get better results in."
