Former Manchester United assistant coach Rene Hake has defended Erik ten Hag against claims that he was solely responsible for the club’s recruitment activities.
In an interview with Voetbal International, Hake emphasized that Ten Hag did not handle transfers on his own and that Manchester United has a large scouting force.
Hake also expressed sadness over their dismissal and believed that with more time, they could have turned things around at Old Trafford.
“Manchester United has a scouting force of 40 people or so. Erik did not deal with transfers on his own and you now also see that Martínez, De Ligt, Onana and Mazraoui are just regular players.
“They are just good football players, that has nothing to do with an Ajax past.”
