Wesley Sneijder believes Erik ten Hag’s has lost dressing room nearly 18 months ago, after the exclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo from the Manchester United squad.
Speaking on Dutch TV show Veronica Offside on Monday night, Sneijder said:
‘He already made a mistake by competing with Ronaldo.
‘He lost everyone’s respect there. He thought it would work the other way around, but of course not.

‘Those guys in the dressing room thought, “Is this man crazy?”’
On suggestions Ten Hag might be axed at the end of the season, Sneijder added:
‘Of course he already knows that he has to leave.
‘But you’re not going to go yourself. If I was him, I would sit there comfortably [until he’s sacked].’
United’s draw with Burnley officially ended their hopes of finishing in the top four and they are now fighting just to claim a place in the Europa League.
Manchester United will journey to take on Crystal Palace on Monday, aiming to secure a Europa League spot.
