Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has insisted that he was not shocked after Manchester United sacked their manager Erik ten Hag.
According to him, the Dutchman had enough time to change things at Old Trafford.
Man United decided to sack Ten Hag on Monday following the club’s Premier League 2-1 defeat to West Ham United on Sunday.
The Red Devils then appointed Ruud Van Nistelrooy as their interim manager.
However, in his latest column for Sky Sports, Merson said: “I’m not shocked. It’s got to a stage at Man Utd where a goalless draw at Aston Villa is a great result.
“It’s gone so far the other way with United now. Where they were and where they are now, it’s light years in difference.
“Ten Hag had his chance. It’s not like he had only 10 minutes at the club. I think he had enough time to change things at Old Trafford and the gulf between United and the top teams has got bigger, not smaller in that time. I think this is for the best.”
