Erik ten Hag is accused of throwing 19-year-old Alejandro Garnacho under the bus.
The 19-year-old has been one of the few bright spots for Manchester United this season. The Argentine made his 30th consecutive start on Saturday, but was taken off at half-time in the 2-2 draw against Bournemouth.
Erik ten Hag confirms that it was a tactical change.
– We had to get the system right. We didn't play well, and the rooms were there, says the United coach, who is under intense pressure.
According to what was published in the Manchester Evening News, he explained the following:
– Jarnacho did not train this week. Just yesterday. We wanted to bring a little more energy and a little more quality and quality in the sense of cooperation and unity on the right side.
YouTube phenomenon Mark Goldbridge is the founder and front man of fan site The United Stand. They've become big and controversial, and they both have a lot in common due to Goldbridge's rude opinions – something VG mentioned earlier.
On Saturday evening, he came out against Ten Hag's statements on X/Twitter, receiving “likes” from Alejandro Garnacho.
Goldbridge wrote that Ten Hag subtly blamed Garnacho.
– It's not good to throw a 19-year-old under the bus that has already gotten you this season.
In his next letter, he wrote that it was a joke to point to Garnacho as the problem.
