Borst unimpressed by Man Utd boss Ten Hag's comments on Slot

Dutch journalist Hugo Borst was left unimpressed by the sparing praise Erik ten Hag has offered new Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

Manchester United manager Ten Hag took aim at Feyenoord's campaign last season under Slot.

Borst wrote for AD: A characteristic reveals itself that Ten Hag should really suppress. He said in Voetbal International that people are overly lyrical about Feyenoord, which was stable, but not top.

Ten Hag says something nice about Slot's transition, but also: 'He ends up in better waters than I did when I went from the Netherlands to Manchester United. In terms of structure in the club, in terms of balance in the selection'. Apologies again. A little jealous."

According to Borst, Ten Hag could also have turned it around by emphasizing that Slot had considerably less financial scope at Feyenoord than he did at Ajax.

Slot has rebuilt Feyenoord three times, played dominant football and won top prizes. Then he could have said that he thinks that is very clever."
