Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag poked fun at England manager Gareth Southgate following the Three Lions’ Sunday night 1-0 triumph over Serbia.
Jude Bellingham’s header put Southgate’s team ahead, and they controlled the first half in Gelsenkirchen, taking a comfortable 1-0 lead into halftime.
But as Dragan Stojkovic’s team tested the Three Lions’ resolve in their Group C opener against Serbia, England gave up most of the second half of the match.
Ultimately, England managed to hold onto the three points, and they could have increased their lead even further if Harry Kane had scored a late header from an excellent Jarrod Bowen cross.
Ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, was employed by NOS in the Netherlands for the England game and chastised Southgate,
who was being touted to take his place at Old Trafford, following their opening-day victory.
Ten Hag stated, ‘It’s the manager’s vision.’
‘After England takes a 1-0 lead, he [Southgate] decides to start taking chances by compacting his team and depending on individual performances in the closing minutes of the match.’
Due to the lack of quality players at his position, Luke Shaw, a left-back, made Southgate’s England squad despite having an injury-plagued season with Manchester United.
‘Luke Shaw will start playing once England get out of the group stages,’ Ten Hag disclosed about Shaw.

Ten Hag said, ‘Everyone has heard that they have spoken to several candidates,’ in response to a question regarding Man Utd’s discussions with other managers. That kind of thing is not only not permitted, but it is not possible in the Netherlands.
