Erik Ten Hag Gives Brutally Honest Assessment Of Harry Maguire Booing

Erik Ten Hag has given a very honest answer to the booing of Harry Maguire, after the Manchester United captain was given a poor reception in

It was expected for some time that Ten Hag would take the armband off the centre back this season, but the new manager decided to stick with the £80 million man.

That decision didn't seem to have the whole backing of the crowd in Australia earlier this week, as United continued their pre season tour.

Ten Hag was asked about the booing during his press conference on Friday morning, and the manager's solution was pretty simple in fairness.

"We heard but you see, if you perform, it slows down," the 52-year-old said.

" The team and Harry impressed by the way we play."

The manager obviously knows that if the performances do get better then fans will no doubt stop booing him and instead cheer the player.

The team have been extremely impressive in attack over the summer, scoring 11 goals in three games, and on Friday the manager said, "I am really happy with the performance of midfield and offence at this moment. But you need more options. It is vital if you want success, the season is really long, but we have time to fill that in."
