Guardiola Backs Ten Hag To Come Back Stronger After Man Utd Dismissal
Pep Guardiola has backed Erik Ten Hag to come back stronger after he was sacked by Manchester United.
Manchester United put Ten Hag out of his misery on Monday following a difficult start to the season which sees them languishing in 14th position on the league table.
Ten Hag spent two-and-a-half seasons in charge of the Red Devils and departs Old Trafford with League Cup and FA Cup honours to his name.
The 54-year-old Dutchman faced Guardiola seven times during his time in England, losing five of those matches.
"I feel very sorry for him, it's one of the best jobs in football. There's only us, it's not teachers or architects or something like that," Guardiola said.
"I wish him all the best and he will come back stronger. If the results aren't good enough, you get sacked. No-one is different, myself included."
Manchester United are tracking Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim, with the hope of bringing him on board before Sunday's Premier League match against Chelsea.
