Man United squad 'concerned that Erik ten Hag doesn't have a strong enough personality' to save club

Manchester United players are reportedly concerned that Erik ten Hag does not have the right force of personality to turn the club's fortunes around.

The Dutchman was confirmed as United's new manager last week after signing a £9million-a-year contract until June 2025.

He will begin work at Old Trafford after departing Ajax at the end of the season, but the team's recent performances show that he has a mammoth task on his hands.

Manchester United players are unsure whether Erik ten Hag is the right choice to be manager

According to the Manchester Evening News, while United's squad are encouraged by ten Hag's 'coaching credentials', there is doubt over whether he is a strong enough character to lift the club after a disastrous season.
