United legend Dwight Yorke is surprised by the amount of praise Ten Hag continues to draw despite his record in the Premier League.
Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has yet to buy into the school of thought that Manchester United has greatly improved under new manager Erik Ten Hag.
The club legend is surprised by the amount of praise Ten Hag continues to draw despite his record in the Premier League.
Yorke has suggested that the Dutchman's record in the Premier League has "not been good enough".
Yorke, 51, also pointed out that the Red Devils have lost more league games this season (nine) than in either of former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's full seasons in charge (eight in 2019-20 and six in 2020-21).
He thinks that Ten Hag should be "called out" on his record.
He told King Casino Bonus: "Erik ten Hag losing nine games in the Premier League does raise some issues.

"If you are a Manchester United manager, you will always be scrutinised for little details or mistakes. There's nowhere to hide.
"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a better record than Ten Hag in his full two seasons managing the club; people talk about the progress we've made and the better style of football being played.
"Manchester United have reached the FA Cup final, won the Carabao Cup, and made it far in the Europa League, so that is progress, but Ten Hag losing more Premier League games than Solskjaer in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons has to be called out.
"The results have not been good enough this season; Manchester United are looking over their shoulder and are desperately trying to hold on to fourth place; I'm not sure that's where the club wants to be.

FOOTBALL Real Madrid want Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham as new poster boys
Real are long-time admirers of PSG forward Mbappe and made a world-record £170m bid for him two years ago.
"Ten Hag gets the praise when the team is playing well; he has to take the criticism when it goes wrong too."
Ten Hag has overseen 57 matches in all competitions since his appointment last summer, winning 37, drawing nine and losing 11.
In Solskjaer's first 57 games in charge, the team only won 29, drew 13 and lost 15.
Ten Hag has also led the club to victory in the Carabao Cup and to the final of the FA Cup.
However, the club did make a disappointing exit in the Europa League and are yet to secure their spot in the Champions League next season.
