Fred criticizes Erik ten Hag's interpersonal management
Former Manchester United midfielder Fred has spoken candidly about his experience working under manager Erik ten Hag.
Brazilian midfielder Fred, formerly of Manchester United, has shared his perspective on his time playing under manager Erik ten Hag. In a recent interview with Charla Podcast, the midfielder detailed the complex nature of the coach's management style.
As a coach, ten Hag was a pain. He argued with everyone: with me, Cristiano, Casemiro, Rashford. Only his Dutch players played. But on the positive side, he did appreciate the Brazilians, and I liked his football ideas. Tactically, he is one of the best coaches I have worked with. But as a person, no, he behaved like a real jerk. Fred
Fred noted that while he respects ten Hag's tactical preparation, the personal side of the relationship was difficult. During their time together at the club, the midfielder made 56 appearances, contributing six goals and six assists.
