Manchester United Defender Slams Old Bosses Solskjaer, Rangnick While Praising Ten Hag [Details]

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has praised Erik ten Hag's methods while taking a dig at the new boss' predecessors, Ralf Rangnick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Red Devils sacked Solskjaer in the middle of the 2021-22 campaign and appointed Rangnick as their interim boss until the end of the season. Manchester United not only ended the campaign without a trophy but also failed to finish in the top four of the Premier League. As a result, the Old Trafford side did not secure the Champions League for the upcoming term.

Ten Hag moved from Ajax to Manchester United and began his stint as the Red Devils' new boss on June 1.

The Dutchman is currently in Thailand with the Manchester United squad on a pre-season tour. They are set to face off against their arch-rivals Liverpool FC in their first game of the summer at Bangkok's Rajamangala Stadium.

In a pre-match interview, Shaw, who has been at Manchester United since 2014, spoke highly of ten Hag. In the process, the left-back subtly criticized the duo of Solskjaer and Rangnick.

"It's clear that he's a top, top manager. He has a structure to play the way he wants us to play. We haven't had that for quite a while, and it was clear to see last season, which was extremely disappointing," Shaw told Yahoo Sports.

Ten Hag had an impressive run at Ajax, leading them to several trophies, including three league titles. The Netherlands national will try to replicate the same success at Old Trafford.

"We have to bounce back, and he has been working us extremely hard, but I think we need it. We're really looking forward to this season because I know it's going to be much better than the last one," Shaw continued.

Manchester United have not won a trophy since their Europa League success in the 2016-17 campaign. The Red Devils kickstart their 2022-23 campaign with a home league game against Brighton on Aug. 7.
