“Erik ten Hag is playing with his job, I didn’t expect him to bench such amazing player… Anyway congratulations to us in advance”: Fc Porto very excited by Erik ten Hag’s decision to drop the Red’s superstar ahead of Europa League clash

Despite Manchester United’s recent troubles, Porto manager Vitor Bruno has advised his troops not to underestimate them. United are facing a critical phase, with manager Erik ten Hag’s future unknown following a terrible start to the season.

However, Bruno feels it is a mistake to expect his squad to have an easy time against the Red Devils. “I’ve heard a lot of people saying that he [Ten Hag] was coming with a rope around his neck, but it would be a huge mistake [to underestimate United],” Bruno informed the crowd.

“We’re talking about world-class players. If you give a different tale, it does not correspond to reality. Any club has difficulties, but we must be on our toes and extremely vigilant.”

Bruno also stated that his squad must be prepared for a difficult encounter, despite United’s current form. “It is going to be really difficult. United are now ranked 13th in the Premier League, but the outcome remains to be seen. Ten Hag claims he always has championships at the end of the year.

“We’re talking about fantastic and exciting guys. Perhaps they are not having their finest day, but we must understand where the threat is coming from and be in the correct frame of mind.

Bruno downplayed the idea of a favorable period to face Manchester United, saying, “I know what you mean, talking about the last match.” But not at all. Exactly the contrary. We always consider them a danger. This is not the best time to confront them.”

He indicated his desire to meet Erik ten Hag, stating, “I don’t know Ten Hag.” I have not met him yet, but I would want to. In Portugal, losing one match practically kills you.Carlos Carvahal, who has experience in the Premier League and Championship, is the coach here.
