Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been labeled as a dictator.

The Dutch coach has been enjoying a productive first season with the Red Devils.

United have already won the Carabao Cup, while they could win the Europa League or FA Cup as well.

Dating back to his time coaching the Bayern Munich reserve team in 2013-2015, ten Hag did not leave a good impression on Riccardo Basta.

In an interview with Sport 1, Basta said: “Every child dreams of becoming a professional footballer and at Bayern I was very close to that dream.

“But I was laughed at, and false promises were made. After my first contract extension, he [Ten Hag] told me that they were counting on me and that there was a plan for me.

“I was supposed to become a link between the first and second team and occasionally be in the squad. I thought that was great, of course. In the end, however, nothing came of it.

“Personally, I did not have a good relationship with Ten Hag. He was almost a dictator. He had a plan and we players had to follow it."
