Erik ten Hag reportedly opposed Scott McTominay's sale and was disappointed when it went ahead

A separate SimplyUtd post from Oct. 20, 2026, credits @lauriewhitwell and @TheAthleticFC for a fuller quotation. In that version, ten Hag argues that “we don’t have scoring abilities” and that McTominay brings “scoring abilities and great mentality.” It also quotes him saying, “We would go aligned in the transfer window.” Neither quoted account identifies whom ten Hag meant by “we” in Ibiza or establishes a shared commitment to keep McTominay.

Replies largely criticized Erik ten Hag as a poor manager whose complaints about broken Manchester United promises on transfers like Kane and McTominay only highlighted his own expensive flops such as Antony.
