“We do criticise sometimes” – Newcastle all-time top scorer Alan Shearer delivers a brutal message back to Manchester United fans and Erik ten Hag after angry reaction from fans following FA Cup win

After Manchester United’s FA Cup win, Alan Shearer was criticized for questioning Erik ten Hag. However, the Newcastle United legend has rightly supported his actions.

Alan Shearer says he was right to “come back” at Erik ten Hag after the two had a heated argument. ten Hag is the manager of Manchester United.

Ten Hag thought that the negative comments about his team this season were “not right.” The Dutchman made this clear in a chat with Lineker and Shearer after Manchester United’s win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

“I understand that you’ve been hurt, but so has everyone else.” Have Chelsea, Newcastle, and Liverpool all got them? He’s made some terrible deals, and I think it’s fair that we’ve criticized him at times this season.

“I also said that I thought his team was amazing in the FA Cup final.” They were by far the best team; they fought hard and won every tackle.

“I made sure to say all of those things about how great his strategy was, but yeah, the Man United fans? No worries. Whatever it is, it is. It’s sometimes necessary to put up with s—.
