JAKARTA - Former Manchester United player, Javier "Chicarito" Hernandez, commented on the performance of his former team which has not shown signs of improvement despite changing to a new manager.
Manchester United is now managed by the Dutch manager, Erik ten Hag. However, his debut in the Premier League ended bitterly.
In the inaugural match of the 2022/2023 season, the club nicknamed the Red Devils surrendered 1-2 to Brighton and Hove Albion. The results are far from the expectations of Manchester United supporters.
MU's slump did not surprise Javier Hernandez. He said the club based at Old Trafford must forget Sir Alex Ferguson if they want to get out of the dark.
The Red Devils need to break away from the past to give a new manager a chance.
"It doesn't surprise me because in life it's not easy to have a manager for 26 years like Sir Alex did," Chicharito said.
"To replace a man like that is not easy. It's like winning the lottery. Do you think whoever you hired after that would be able to do 80 per cent of what Ferguson did?" he continued.
Manchester United haven't won a title since Ferguson retired in 2013. Even though he's not directly involved, the 80-year-old still has a role and is always present at the Theater of Dreams.
"My view is that Ferguson brought so much pressure that it wouldn't work. United must now accept the fact that Sir Alex Ferguson has left," he said.
"Would we like to have someone similar? Yes, yes, yes. But Sir Alex is gone and it will never be the same again."
"So United must adapt and let the next manager do it his own way," continued the player who is now defending LA Galaxy.
