Nemanja Vidic thinks Erik ten Hag is a good, stable coach, who has restored important values at Man Utd this season. Ten Hag managed Go Ahead Eagles, Bayern Munich II, Utrecht and Ajax before his appointment at Old Trafford and some predicted he would struggle in his first season in the Premier League, but he’s currently exceeding expectations with his squad.
Although United recorded their lowest-ever points total since the inaugural Premier League campaign last term, Ten Hag has been able to transform the club’s fortunes, which has seen United reach the final of the Carabao Cup at Wembley.
Ten Hag has an opportunity to end the worst trophy drought at the club for 40 years in that competition, while his side, who currently sit in third position in the table, are also firmly on track to secure Champions League football.
Vidic spent eight trophy-laden years at Old Trafford and he recently told iNews that Ten Hag is the manager the club needed.
“Erik ten Hag makes players better. He’s a good coach, that’s very important. He’s working on the pitch all the time with them,” Vidic said.
“He’s very stable as a person. He was already working for a big club and it seems like his approach is that nothing comes straight away, it’s hard work. He sees the longer picture. Even if you lose the match or win the match, where he wants to go.
“He gives me confidence as an ex-Man Utd player and fan that he knows what he’s doing. You can see on the pitch that they’re playing more as a team. Ten Hag has good values. That’s important. I think we lost in a certain moment that value.
“But now I think he’s giving that back and it feels now that they’re playing as a team.”
