Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has back at the critics who have been calling for him to get sacked.

Ten Hag has been linked with a departure of the Red Devils' difficult campaign, where they will miss out on Premier League football.

Former Red Devils star Paul Scholes recently stated that Ten Hag should be sacked before the FA Cup final.

Ten Hag suggested that the football critics have no knowledge of football.

"I think the fans have the patience, you’ve seen it on Monday," Ten Hag said, as per Manchester Evening News.

"I see some comments they don’t, either they don’t have any knowledge of football or they don't have any knowledge about managing a football team or they just aren’t up to it.

"I think there are many people who see the problems and they are patient."

"I haven’t changed at all - I am still the same. Of course there have been different experiences and I really like the ones I have had, I love the English football culture. I appreciate it all and am really happy to be here, but I have not changed at all.

"I did my job and in the first year I would say it was a good formation. We played to our levels, maybe we over-performed. In this one we haven’t and I know why, but we are still in an FA Cup final and that is a great achievement.

"I didn’t change but of course the experiences and challenges did. This is a massive club and you only realise that when you first come in, the things you have to face.

"But I wanted to take on this challenge and have not had one second when I regret that decision. I am really happy to be here, and have never for a single second regretted coming."
