Manchester United should not be expected to win trophies under Erik ten Hag immediately, says Gary Neville, warning it is a long job for the Dutchman with a mentally shot squad at Old Trafford.The Ajax bo s will take the reins from
Zac Dalpe Jersey interim manager Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season, with the Red Devils arguably facing their lowest point in the post-Alex Ferguson era.Questions over whether a squad low on confidence can challenge for Champions League football remains in the air, and several key players look destined for the door.Hopes are high that Ten Hag can facilitate a fast turnaround but speaking after his appointment, former defender Neville has warned there will be no quick fix at the Theatre of Dreams.What were seeing at this current moment is unacceptable, Neville told Sky Sports News. Ten Hag has got a big job to get the club back up to those minimum standards.They need to achieve attitude, work ethic, belief, confidence and then hopefully you start to think about winning trophies.But honestly, I wouldnt be putting too much pre sure on Ten Hag in the first one or two years to win a trophy at the club. It would be great if he did and hed be overachieving, in my opinion.It will be: get into the top four, re-establish Man Utd in the Champions League, attract the players into the club who can play in the way he wants to play, and then get a system of belief.It took Jurgen Klopp four or five years to
Ian Cole Jersey win a Premier League title.I wouldnt be putting pre sure on Ten Hagto win a
Sonny Milano Kids Jersey Premier League title. Theyre a million miles away from that.At the end of last season, I thought they were getting closer. But its all collapsed and fallen to pieces. I dont know why thats happened. Ten Hag gets to pick up the pieces.It has been a dramatic fall from grace for United, after their much-vaunted rebuild under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looked on the cusp of paying dividends last term.But since their Europa League final defeat at the end of the 2021-22 campaign, they have delivered few statement performances, and Neville believes the losing feeling will be hard to shake.The players have completely lost their confidence and belief, he added. They dont want to play football for Manchester United at this moment in time.Thats not they dont want to play football for the club they dont want to play football. They want the season to finish. You can see it in their eyes. They just want these games over.But the problem is there is no hiding place at this club. All the eyes are still going to be on them and theyre going to have to try to turn up. Theyve got to find something from somewhere.
Mark Letestu Women Jersey I want to be careful in saying theres long-lasting damage but the mental impact of whats happening,thats going to have a long-lasting impact on some of those lads.Ten Hag will succeed Rangnick, with the German expected to remain at the club on a consultancy basis and Neville feels that it will be the latter
Liam Foudy Women Jersey who helps the Dutchman dictate transfer policy.Recruitment is the most important job in a football club, he said. If you get the players wrong, youre struggling.Rangnick has had four or five months to a se s that dre sing room. Im pretty certain theyll be having pretty direct conversations about who he needs to get rid of.Its on the tip of Rangnicks tongue in every single interview he does and you feel like hes going to go rogue at some point and start calling players out.Hes doing it in groups, but theres no doubt Rangnick will be pa sing on that very specific information about who Ten Hag needs to get rid of and Im sure Ten Hag will listen and buy into that.
