Erik Ten Hag has suffered from a humiliating defeat in the first match since the dismissal of Man United

Erik Ten Hag took the worst possible start to Bayer Leverkusen, undergoing an embarrassing defeat against the team of under 20 years of Brazilian flameng.

Ten Hag was dismissed by Manchester United in October after a bad start to the season and spent an unemployed period, despite a certain number of offers to return to management.

The Dutchman chose to take the reins in Leverkusen, Champions of Bundesliga in 2024, after Xabi Alonso replaced Carlo Ancelotti in Real Madrid.

With the key players Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong leaving for Liverpool, the first ten hag match in charge came against the young people of Flamengo and could not have turned badly.

The visitors met 2-0 in 10 minutes, then 4-0 at halftime for Flamengo, who made 5-0 at the start of the second half.

Leverkusen has withdrawn one through Montrell Culbrereh, 17, but the German team suffered a humiliating loss under their new manager.

The confrontation has been shown live on the club’s YouTube channel and fans on social networks broke out of reactions sharing the same ideas.

A user on X commented: “Erik Ten Hag starting well in Leverkusen then.”

A second, a supporter of United, said: “Trust the process! Ten Hag will repair the mess!”

A third added: “How does the brother lose against U20.”
