Sir Alex Ferguson and Gary Neville's comments give Erik ten Hag a Man United conundrum
11.05.2022 - 13:35 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Whenever Manchester United encounter a turbulent period of form, references associated with the past tend to emerge at Old Trafford. A countless number of ex-players who now work in the media regularly refer back to their own experiences during their playing days when analysing problems at the club.
The glory days produced by Sir Alex Ferguson haven't been forgotten by those who took part. The sides produced by the legendary Scot are fondly remembered on the red half of Manchester, although exactly what made them so great is open for debate.
Earlier this week, Gary Neville explained why Antonio Conte wasn't the right man to manage his former club. The Sky Sports pundit seemed to agree with an interview given by Jurgen Klopp after his team's 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, with the Liverpool boss criticising Conte's defensive tactics.

"I don't like this football, but that's my personal problem," said the Liverpool boss. "They are world class and I think they should be doing more for the game."
Jamie Carragher responded by highlighting that Neville had contradicted himself by previously naming Diego Simeone as fitting for the role — despite his defensive nature as a coach — to which Neville replied: "Simeone 4-4-2, aggressive style. Proper United, that. Conte wing-backs? No."
Aside from the Atletico Madrid boss actually using variations of a back three more often than 4-4-2 this season, there is a lot wrong with Neville's comments. His logic captures how the supposed 'United DNA' has always seemed to be more of an abstract idea depending on the viewpoint of the person involved.
