Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has criticized manager Erik ten Hag and the team’s style of play, expressing doubt about their chances of winning the Premier League under his leadership.

Speaking to beIN Sports, Yorke said, “We’re far from winning the Premier League. After Ten Hag’s first season, we believed he could lead us forward, but that hasn’t happened. Yes, we won the FA Cup last season, but that doesn’t make us a strong team. The way we play, our league position, and our goal stats are the worst in the club’s Premier League history since 1992.”
