Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag was mocked on Dutch TV after his side's draw with FC Twente on Wednesday night.

United had been up 1-0 in the opening game of the Europa League through Christian Eriksen but Twente responded in the second half through Sam Lammers.

Ten Hag has had another bumpy start to the season, with Man Utd currently sitting in 11th place in the Premier League table, having lost two, drawn one, and won two.

The Red Devils have won just three of their eight games across all competitions, leading to more questions being asked of Ten Hag and whether he is the right man for the Old Trafford job.

Speaking on Ziggo Sport as Ten Hag walked off down the tunnel at the final whistle, Gullit said jokingly: "Yeah, but it's a process."

He added: "I am not surprised by the football Manchester United showed tonight. Why not? Because we are used to it by now. How many millions did Erik ten Hag invest in his team again? "

"I saw Erik ten Hag talking to Garnacho all the time. The only thing a player is thinking during a moment like that is: 'Dude, leave me alone.'"

Ten Hag has often spoken about the need for calm and "process". He has been in the United job for two years now, having won the FA Cup and League Cup. But performances have been lacklustre, even in victory, and United fell from third in the league to eighth last term, their lowest-ever place.

Ten Hag affirms "process"

"Of course when you see the scores, no one is happy" Ten Hag said. "But also players have a very good sense of the process, of the quality of the process. Yeah, and I agree with him.

"Also, when you analyse the games – all the games – so far, we are in a good direction. But also as normal in a transition period and in a period where you have to build a team, we have to improve. We have to step up.”

Ten Hag was asked how he felt the game against Twente went. He replied: "This is football. You have to keep going. Tomorrow there is a new day, and we go again."

United faced Tottenham in their next match before facing Porto in the Europa League.
