Erik ten Hag: Zlatan Ibrahimovic Questions Manchester United’s Approach Amid Dismal Run

• Zlatan Ibrahimovic is unsure of whether Erik ten Hag has adapted to the demands of Manchester United
• Ten Hag's poor start to the season has put him in a tough spot, having already lost four times
• Ibrahimovic sat down with Piers Morgan for an exclusive chat to be aired on October 5

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has questioned Erik ten Hag's suitability to lead Manchester United to greater heights after a poor start to the season.

The Red Devils have already lost four of their opening seven games of the 2023/2024 season - their worst start in 34 years.

Their latest defeat came at the hands of Crystal Palace in front of their own home ground as they went down by a solitary goal.

The belief was rife that the club would perform better in this campaign following last season's satisfactory results. Ten Hag guided United to the Carabao Cup - their first trophy in six years- plus a third-place finish on the table.

However, this season, he has been dealt a different set of cards, with the Dutch manager forced to deal with on and off-the-pitch issues. Jadon Sancho and Antony have been rocked with indiscipline issues to go with the high number of absentees occasioned by injuries to the first-team players.

Ibrahimovic has now questioned ten Hag's approach by drawing comparisons to his former club Ajax and his current workstation.

"Coming from Ajax to United as he did is a big difference. I have been in both clubs. You have a different kind of discipline. Ajax is a talented club. They have the best talents in the club. They don't have big stars. What is the experience of this coach? Young talents, he comes to United, it is a different mentality," said the Swede in his interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, as quoted by Metro News.
