“I think Manchester United should make bold decisions, including regarding the players; Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo must go”- Jamie Carragher’s strong message to Eric Ten Hag

In an interview with CBS Sports, Jamie Carragher appreciated the “brave decision” of the Manchester United management to put aside Mauricio Pochettino and finalize the Ajax Coach Eric Ten Hag for the next season. Carragher claimed that he wants Ten Hag to make some “bold moves” and release big names like Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba.

“I think it’s a good decision, I think it’s a brave decision. The easy choice would have been Pochettino because he’s been in the Premier League before. But they’ve gone for a manager who’s not been in the Premier League,” said Carragher.

“I also think United should make bold decisions, including regarding the players. Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo must go,” added the Liverpool legend.

Carragher hinted that Ten Hag might make a huge impact at Manchester United since he is “new and fresh” in the Premier League, unlike, Mauricio Pochettino, who has earlier managed Tottenham Hotspurs.

“So what I mean by this is he’s not managed at a big club and he is seen as this up-and-coming coach, ‘he’s new, he’s fresh’ and Pochettino’s not, he’s older than Pochettino, which some people don’t seem to know”, concluded Carragher.

Eric Ten Hag is about to be Manchester United’s fourth manager in the last six years

Eric Ten Hag to become Manchester United Manager

Even though Manchester United has had great managers including the likes of Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Ralf Rangnick in the recent past, they have won just three titles in the last six years. Interestingly, the Red Devils failed to bag any titles under Ole and Rangnick. As a result, Ten Hag’s job will be tough since he will be taking over a team as the fourth manager in the last six years and which has not seen any silverware in the last five seasons.

Eric Ten Hag is a capable coach who had an excellent time at Ajax, taking them to the semi-finals of the Champions League. He has impressed the Manchester United officials with his capabilities and achievements at Ajax. Carragher feels that Eric would be a fresh coach with fresh minds and Manchester United needs freshness from what they have.
