Pep Guardiola agrees with Arne Slot verdict on Erik ten Hag after Man Utd exit

Liverpool.com - 2 hours 54 min ago

Premier League managers were quick to offer commiserations towards the recently-sacked Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag.

The 54-year-old Dutch manager lasted just over two seasons with the Red Devils, winning a League Cup and an FA Cup. However, United dropped to eighth place in the table last year - their lowest-ever finish in the Premier League era - and currently sit 14th this year after nine matches. Sunday's 2-1 defeat to West Ham was the nail in ten Hag's coffin.

Comparatively, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has the ultimate job security. He's captured six Premier League titles in eight seasons with the Citizens and has his team at the top of the table once again.

Regardless, the Spanish manager spoke affectionately of the beleaguered ten Hag: “I’m so sorry for him. We had an incredible relationship and I think he represents Man United at the highest level in terms of behavior," Guardiola admitted.

“Our job, the manager, is one of the few jobs in all the jobs in the world where people expected you to be sacked. I don’t see architects, doctors or teachers or anything [where] the people decide, ‘Yeah, get out.’ It’s us. It’s our job, we have to accept it.

“I wish him all the best, he and his family, and he of course is going to come back stronger," Guardiola continued. “He knows, I know, everybody knows that our job depends on the results. When the results are not good enough, always we are on the verge of staying or being sacked.”

Liverpool manager Arne Slot had coached against ten Hag for a number of years - Slot was in charge of Feyenoord in the Eredivisie while ten Hag manned Ajax.

“He's a Dutch manager, which makes it even harder for me and for us as Dutch people,” Slot said. “Always your first thoughts are with the person."

He then offered his sympathies. “We are all in this job so we know it happens, but especially because I know him a little bit and I know how much work he puts into it, then to get this news for him is a pity."

"We also know, especially us from Holland, how well he did at Ajax and he won two trophies over here, so we will see him in the near future again at a big club."

Former PSV manager and current United assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy will manage Manchester United on Wednesday against Leicester City in the League Cup.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reported early on Tuesday that the club has paid Sporting Lisbo €10 million ($11 million) for manager Ruben Amorim. The 39-year-old ended his side's title drought dating back to 2022 by winning Liga NOS in 2021.

Rio Ngumoha reveals words of advice from Raheem Sterling before Liverpool transfer

Liverpool.com - Tue, 10/29/2024 - 21:59

Rio Ngumoha has revealed what crucial advice Raheem Sterling gave him prior to joining Liverpool.

The 16-year-old starlet completed a move from Chelsea during the summer in what was a major coup for the Reds, with Ngumoha deemed one of the most promising talents in Europe after wowing youth coaches. The tricky winger's talent even led him to training with the Chelsea first-team during his time with the Stamford Bridge outfit, where he got to experience rubbing shoulders with some of the club's biggest stars.

One of those was former Liverpool man Sterling, who was left highly impressed with what he saw from Ngumoha on the Cobham training pitches - and even offered him some words of advice to help him further develop his game. Liverpool's latest talent has now revealed exactly what the former Anfield star said to him during their time together in west London, and it appears he's already taken it on following an eye-catching start to life on Merseyside.

Speaking on the latest episode of Inside The Academy, Ngumoha said: "One player who has spoken to me is Raheem Sterling. He has been top. I remember one time, he pulled me to the side and told me 'when you lose the ball, make sure you stay in the game'. Because at the top level, everything happens so fast so you have to be on it to do your thing.

"It made me feel like I can do what he has done. He is telling me that he can see what I am good at, from someone like Raheem, I was like 'wow.'"

Ngumoha has already featured for the Under-18s in the U18 Premier League and UEFA Youth League this season. He's impressed with his quick feet and direct style and, despite not scoring for Barry Lewtas' side, has shown plenty of glimpses of his talent.

During his time with Liverpool, Sterling bagged 23 goals and 18 assists in 129 games after making his breakthrough as a 17-year-old, having also made the move north from London as a teenager.

Having passed on some of his knowledge to Ngumoha, the former Chelsea academy player will now be hoping to follow in a similar path to the former Liverpool forward, who has gone on to have an illustrious career since.

Fabinho has blunt view on Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk futures at Liverpool

Liverpool.com - Tue, 10/29/2024 - 21:31

Former Liverpool ace Fabinho, now at Al-Ittihad, has brushed off rumours that he's been trying to lure Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk to Saudi Arabia.

The Champions League and Premier League winner with Liverpool, who departed for Jeddah in the summer of 2023, is now in the company of football greats like Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante.

While there was interest from his club in Salah this year, Liverpool was not prepared to let him go, and Al-Ittihad ended up signing Moussa Diaby from Aston Villa instead. With Salah, Van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold all facing contracts that expire after the 2024-25 season, speculation is rampant.

However, Fabinho offered a blunt response in an interview with FourFourTwo as he declared: "it's not my problem any more!"

He said: "I haven't talked to them lately and to be honest I didn't see any news about them coming to the Saudi League or leaving Liverpool," adding, "I know that some players like Mo, Virgil and Trent are at the end of their contract, and I think Liverpool are desperate to get them a new contract, but it's not my problem any more! ".

The 31-year-old ex-Monaco ace remains an avid follower of his old team and hasn't been taken aback by Liverpool's title challenge under Arne Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp.

As speculation swirls about the future of club stalwarts Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, fans weigh in with their predictions. The duo made their mark against Arsenal as Liverpool drew with the fellow title aspirants, and could be pivotal in the upcoming Carabao Cup match versus Brighton, despite being substitutes in the commanding 5-1 triumph over West Ham in the earlier round.

Slot addressed lineup considerations ahead of the Brighton encounter, citing injury constraints: "I don't think it's possible to do the same as we did against West Ham for the simple reason that we got some injuries, so we don't have maybe enough players to change them all if I wanted that," conceded Slot when speaking to the press.

"We played against Arsenal on Sunday, yesterday [Monday] was mostly recovery for everyone, so today when they come in – and they have to come in as we speak – we will find out how they all are and then we have to make a decision on who is going to start."
