I wouldn’t call him overhype but rather the expectations were just too much on him. Ten Hag guided Ajax to many league tittle and cup wins, not to talk of some special champions nights. You people will argue that Ajax is a small club or the Dutch league is a farmers league but look at how Ajax has turned out since Ten Hag left the club.
Expecting too much from someone if it is not overhype, then is what?
He did excellently with Ajax but He is still a low tier coach we have seen coaches doing that including Steven Gerrard, Graham Potter and others but failed when they manage bigger teams in the EPL.
I will mention players for, he wanted Kim Min Jae and he never got that, he wanted De Jong and the club signed Mount instead. He did wanted Onana and Hojlund and to be fair both will get better with time.
Don`t put it that United never tried to sign this players while De Jong as rejected them alot in order to remain in barcelona, Kim Min Jae opt for Bayern instead of them and wasn`t He that pick Mount as their alternative. I see no fault with the club who literally supported him .
Ten Hag had issues with Ronaldo and Sancho no problem is there any manager that doesn’t have problems with big players. The two coaches you mentioned above did had problems with numerous players and what did the club did then they trusted those players and they club is still in same position up till today. Ferguson once said that a player that thinks he is bigger than the manager doesn’t belong to the club
I guess I will accept Sancho having behavioural problem but Ronaldo I don`t think so since Ten Hag was not the first lower tier coach he was under, while I may not support Van Gaal I guess Jose Mourinho would have their best bet and I think he spoke of the bad behaviours of most united players though some of such players are out but I guess Ten Hag will still have issues with other United players since United players are filled with unworthy pride
