John Barnes says Erik ten Hag feels his struggling Manchester United team should know exactly what they are doing on the pitch.
Liverpool legend Barnes has opened up about his discussion with Trevor Sinclair, who is currently working under former United assistant coach Steve McClaren in the Jamaica national team set-up.
It is said that Sinclair has claimed McClaren regards Ten Hag very highly, praising his top-class tactics and noting that his preparation means that the team should be able to go out on the pitch and perform.
McClaren, who was serving as Sir Alex Ferguson's right-hand man over two decades ago, teamed up with Ten Hag at United in 2022 and stayed until this summer before taking over as Jamaica's head coach – where he now works with ex-Manchester City winger Sinclair.
