Bad Quote by Erik ten Hag
“The pundits in England want to score, they want to show they are worth the money, and for that Manchester United is an easy prey. It's the biggest club in England and possibly in the world. The club is either loved or hated, there is no in-between. So when things go bad, they all start talking and talking with very big words.”
