Paul Merson gives reasons Erik ten Hag will struggle at Man United

The incoming Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has been warned by Arsenal veteran Paul Merson that his ambitions for the Red Devils may be worthless.

The majority of the players the Dutchman wants to bring to Old Trafford are already Premier League flops, according to Paul Merson.

Paul Merson gives reasons Erik ten Hag will struggle at Man United

Prior to his arrival at Old Trafford, the Arsenal veteran cautioned the 52-year-old that the English top tier cannot be compared to the Dutch league and questioned Hag’s qualifications.

Paul Merson claims that the former Ajax manager will struggle in the Premier League.

The 52-year-old has joined at United with the goal of restoring success to Old Trafford after leading Ajax to three Eredivisie titles.

“He’s got to prove himself. It’s alright saying you’re going to come in and play the Ajax way, play on the front foot, that’s Dutch football,” Merson told Sky Sports.

“You look at [Dusan] Tadic, he didn’t really kick it over here[In the Premier League] – no one else really wanted him – he’s the best player over in Holland.

“[Sebastien] Haller couldn’t get a game here and can’t stop scoring. I heard one story saying he could bring Haller with him, surely Man United fans won’t be having that? Dutch football hasn’t got a Man City, a Chelsea, a Liverpool, a Tottenham or Arsenal or West Ham, this is going to be hard.

It’s going to be a hard, hard road.”

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
