⚽He got Erik ten hag sacked and he’ll get you sacked as well,he’s a ticking time bomb waiting to explode anytime soon,he ruined Erik ten hag career and he would ruin yours too,keep starting him and you would find yourself out before the season ends” Manchester United legend and Fernabarche coach sends strong message to Manchester United coach after 1-1 away draw to Fulham
—
Manchester United’s frustrating 1-1 draw away at Fulham has stirred up new controversy — and this time, the harshest criticism didn’t come from fans or analysts, but from one of the club’s former greats. His message was blunt and cutting, warning the current United boss that a specific player in the squad could completely derail the season and cost him his position.
The former United star, now managing Turkish club Fenerbahce, didn’t hold back after seeing yet another uninspired United display. According to him, the player in question is a “ticking time bomb,” someone who can undermine authority and disrupt the atmosphere in the dressing room. He claimed this same player played a major part in Erik ten Hag’s exit — and if decisive action isn’t taken, the same fate awaits the current coach.
United’s season so far has been rocky, marked by uneven performances, a vulnerable defense, and an attack that lacks bite in key moments. The draw against Fulham only increased scrutiny on the manager, who’s still trying to figure out the right team selection and tactical approach amid a squad full of big personalities and struggling performers.
But the former legend’s warning went beyond on-field issues — it was about internal dynamics, influence, and destructive behavior. He indicated that as long as this player remains central to the team, no manager will be able to maintain control or create unity in the squad.
“He’s done it before and he will do it again. You don’t gamble with someone like that. Start him and you’re writing your own resignation letter,” the Fenerbahce boss reportedly said.
Fans are now heavily debating who the unnamed player could be. Some suspect veterans who’ve had past disputes with managers, while others think it’s a current out-of-form regular who continues to be selected despite poor displays.
What’s obvious is that Manchester United’s difficulties go far beyond tactics — they stem from issues within the locker room and the influence certain players wield. While the draw at Fulham may seem like another average result, the strong words from the club legend might uncover deeper cracks in the foundation at Old Trafford.
The big question now is whether the coach will heed the warning and make bold calls, or repeat the same mistakes that led to Erik ten Hag’s downfall.
One thing’s for sure — the spotlight is firmly on Manchester United, and what they do next may shape not only this campaign, but the manager’s future as well.
