Ten Hag blamed for pre-season loss

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Manchester United's 2024/25 season began on a disappointing note with a defeat to Rosenborg, and manager Erik ten Hag has been bashed by the club’s fans for the defeat.

The Dutch manager, who featured five first-team regulars from last season, lost by a last-minute goal by Noah Holm.

Though it was only a friendly match, the result drew significant criticism from both Ten Hag and the fans, particularly since the Premier League team conceded more than 20 shots during the game.
