Paul Merson gives reasons Erik ten Hag will struggle at Man United
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">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.</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The majority of the players the Dutchman wants to bring to Old Trafford are already Premier League flops, according to Paul Merson.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">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&#8217;s qualifications.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Paul Merson claims that the former Ajax manager will struggle in the Premier League.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The 52-year-old has joined at United with the goal of restoring success to Old Trafford after leading Ajax to three Eredivisie titles.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“[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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">It’s going to be a hard, hard road.”</span></p>
