With a crucial Premier League match against Southampton approaching, Ferguson has made his frustrations clear, stating that the player in question must not be part of the starting XI.
Rumors circulating within the football community suggest that Ferguson’s comments are not directed at Marcus Rashford, Diogo Dalot, or new signing Joshua Zirkzee, but rather at a yet-to-be-named player who has consistently underperformed in recent fixtures.
According to sources close to the club, Ferguson has expressed concerns over the tactical decisions made by Ten Hag, particularly regarding this player’s repeated appearances in the line-up.
Despite the sizable investment of £50 million made for the player, Ferguson reportedly believes that his lackluster performances have cost Manchester United dearly, especially in key matches this season.
The United legend, renowned for his no-nonsense approach during his managerial reign, has allegedly vowed to personally confront Ten Hag if the player starts against Southampton, signaling how serious he views the situation.
Fans have been left speculating about which player Ferguson’s remarks are aimed at.
The pressure on Ten Hag has already been mounting following a series of disappointing results this season, including the recent humiliating loss to Liverpool at Old Trafford.
With United struggling to find consistent form, Ferguson’s rare public disapproval adds another layer of complexity to the already tense situation at the club.
As Manchester United prepares for their upcoming clash with Southampton, all eyes will be on Ten Hag’s squad selection.
Whether he heeds Ferguson’s warning or stands by his decisions remains to be seen.
What is certain is that the outcome of this match could have significant consequences for both the team’s season and Ten Hag’s relationship with one of the club’s greatest icons.
