Contenders to replace Erik ten Hag 'concerned' about criticism from former Man United players

According to a worrisome report from The Telegraph, the constant negativity and criticism from former Manchester United players are jeopardising the club's hunt for a new manager.

The 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace has led to more pressure on Erik ten Hag, who is likely to be replaced this summer.

However, the club's 'opinionated former players' have led to 'concerns' among potential candidates about taking the job.

No other club in England or Europe has such vocal ex-players, who react strongly to every single result or development.

That leaves less room for managers to truly do their work as they fear every decision being scrutinised. It's a similar story that impacted all the managers since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013.
