Ex-Man Utd coach lifts lid on working with Erik ten Hag and reveals why he left Old Trafford for MLS

Ramsay worked alongside Ten Hag at Manchester United before moving on to MLS side Minnesota United in February 2024. He became the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/parting-shot-man-utd-eric-ramsay-excited-strong-football-culture-minnesota-united-old-trafford-mls-youngest-ever-head-coach/bltc264ca0ca5e731be" target="_blank">youngest-ever coach in MLS</a> at the age of 32 when he made the switch and says he learned a lot from the Dutchman during their time together at Old Trafford.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ten Hag wanted to keep hold of Ramsay and admitted it was "not a good time in the season" for him to leave when he waved farewell to the Red Devils in February. The Dutchman's future at <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-s-decision-made-erik-ten-hag-set-sacked-sir-jim-ratcliffe-ineos-irrespective-fa-cup-final-result/bltf93e4db08a1d42bb" target="_blank">United was uncertain for long periods</a> of last season before he guided the Red Devils to an impressive FA Cup win over Manchester City.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

He told the Daily Mail: "For sure, I took loads from working with Erik. A really impressive guy with a real sense of strength and conviction. Watching Erik from a step removed, dealing with the enormity of what you have at Manchester United when things aren’t going well, that was really helpful. It’s how you deal with these moments that are absolutely decisive in whether you can keep a group going and how far you go as a coach."

WHAT RAMSAY SAID ABOUT TEN HAG

Ramsey also also revealed why he had left the Red Devils for a new challenge in the United States: "I just felt that it was one I couldn’t turn down. However it pans out here and when it comes to an end, I know I will be significantly better for having had this experience. It’s been everything I wanted it to be so far. I can say safely that even after five months that I feel twice as capable as I would have done had I stayed there. There’s probably never going to be a point where I look back and say, 'I should perhaps have stayed at Manchester United a touch longer.' "I had a couple of chances to go during the course of Erik’s time, and I’d always taken them to him first. He was a very good person to talk to in that sense. He’s very honest and has also got that mentoring side to him. When this came up, as much as there was an appetite for me to stay, he could see the value in the opportunity. We had a couple of long conversations about it and I was really thankful that he enabled me to go because it was an awkward time in the season for them. I was really thankful from watching over here that it all panned out as it did because I certainly wouldn’t want to have seen it go any other way."

WHY RAMSEY LEFT MAN UTD FOR MLS

United have since confirmed Ten Hag will be staying on as manager but they will be expecting more from the Dutchman in the new campaign, particularly after splashing out on new signings such as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/leny-yoro-europes-best-sign-lille-new-william-saliba/blt87598d5c933102c5" target="_blank">Leny Yoro</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/joshua-zirkee-bologna-striker-transfer-thiago-motta-ronaldinho/blt4e9d93567457d95d" target="_blank">Joshua Zirkzee</a>. Changes have also been made to the club's coaching set-up, with club legend <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ruud-van-nistelrooy-back-man-utd-coaching-staff-erik-ten-hag/bltcd7aa84fb54c3caf#csbef05c9a317b91a6" target="_blank">Ruud van Nistelrooy taking up a post</a> along with fellow Dutchman Rene Hake.
