Former Ghanaian midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng has called on Manchester United to dismiss Dutch coach Erik Ten Haag, claiming that he is not suited for the job.

The English club's poor form continued with a 3-2 loss to Galatasaray on Tuesday night at Old Trafford in the UEFA Champions League, marking their third consecutive home defeat in all competitions.

Boateng, who played for Tottenham and Portsmouth in the English Premier League, also criticized Ten Haag for his handling of the Cristiano Ronaldo situation.

Last December, Ronaldo gave an interview in which he made derogatory remarks about the club and the manager, leading to the termination of Ronaldo's contract.

"He [Ronaldo] was the top scorer, and he just kicked him out. He goes against the best player in the team; you don't do that; you have to give him respect. There are ways to let a player go, and I think he chose the wrong way," Boateng said on Vibe with Five.

"I think he has to go. From what I'm seeing, there's no energy. I don't see any energy. And then what he did to Ronaldo and all that, it's too much stuff. I think he's not at the level to be the coach of Man United.

"Even the team is not the best; they have some good players but not the best. But still, there's no fire. When you come to Old Trafford, it's like how you said; they put in a ball and there's no pace, no one gets angry, no one puts in passion and fire. If my players aren't doing that, then me as a coach, I have to do that."

Manchester United secured Champions League football last season by finishing third in the Premier League and also won the Carabao Cup under Ten Haag, ending a five-year trophy drought.

However, results have not been good enough this season, with the English giants losing six of their 10 matches since the start of the campaign.

Ten Haag's strict disciplinary approach has also led to a falling out with Jadon Sancho, who remains excluded from the first team after challenging the manager on social media.
