WHAT HAPPENED?
Meulensteen, who worked as a first-team coach at Old Trafford for five years under Sir Alex Ferguson, described Ten Hag's tactics as 'incomprehensible' and feels there is no optimism left for United anymore.

The Red Devils suffered their 13th defeat of the Premier League campaign on Monday as they went down 4-0 against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. United have now conceded 55 goals in the league and have a negative goal difference as they dropped down to the eighth position on the table.
WHAT RENE MEULENSTEEN SAID
Speaking to NOS, the former United coach said: "It is really incomprehensible what is happening now. There is simply no progress whatsoever. You know, as a new trainer you always have to deal with a selection that you have not put together yourself. So, it takes a few transfer periods before you get the players you want. I always say: a trainer needs eighteen months to get it right. to get on track.
"But now there is none of that optimism left. There is no playing style, club culture or philosophy. If you look at the statistics… it doesn’t make any sense. Manchester United has a goal difference of minus three!
He added: "That (boycotting media) is really not smart. The media of course have the right to ask questions. They also see what kind of results are on the board, such as the 4-0 against Crystal Palace. Then it is logical that they ask critical questions. There are now just too many players who are either too old or not good enough. Or boys who have the wrong attitude."
GettyWHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED?
Ten Hag's side will be back in action on Sunday in the Premier League as they host title aspirants Arsenal at Old Trafford. The club are not expected to make a decision on the Dutchman's future until the end of the season, with an FA Cup final against Manchester City still to come before then.
