You need to close your mouth – Steve Nicol slams Erik ten Hag

Former Liverpool star, Steve Nicol, has slammed Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, saying the Dutchman is beginning to talk too much.

Nicol advised the former Ajax boss to shut up and keep his card close to his chest.

Ten Hag was in charge of the Red Devils for the first time when they beat Liverpool 4-0 in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday.

After the game, the Dutchman told the press that his side made too many mistakes and conceded too many chances.

Nicol, who won the Premier League and three FA Cups with Liverpool, was not impressed with Ten Hag’s comments.

“Keep your cards close to your chest, tell them nothing. Get through your press conference and move on,” he said on ESPN.

“Three games into the season, it’ll be ‘Why did you make Harry Maguire captain when you knew he was rubbish last year?’

“I’m sick of seeing it. Keep your mouth closed. It’s easy. Someone will need to have a word in his ear.”
