5 million pound mistake causes Ten Hag to be cursed by MU fans

Erik ten Hag was criticized by MU fans again, after Alvaro Carreras shone to help Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 in round 10 of La Liga on October 26.

Carreras was one of MU's biggest mistakes under Ten Hag.

The Dutchman left Old Trafford in October 2024, ending his tenure with two FA Cup and Carabao Cup titles. However, Ten Hag left a messy legacy, more than £615 million spent, of which the £82 million Antony deal was considered a disaster.

But Alvaro Carreras is the name that makes MU fans the most angry. In January 2024, Ten Hag decided to let the Spanish left-back go to Benfica on loan, with a buyout clause worth only 5 million pounds.

Just a year later, Carreras shone brightly in Portugal, helping Benfica finish second in the national championship. In June 2025, Real Madrid spent 43 million euros to bring him to the Bernabeu. Since then, Carreras has started all La Liga matches under Xabi Alonso. The highlight was a classy performance in El Clasico when he completely "pocketed" Lamine Yamal for 90 minutes at the Bernabeu.

On social media, a wave of anger from MU fans exploded. One fan wrote: "I hate Ten Hag to the core. He fired De Gea, bought Onana, and sold Carreras – now he makes Yamal 'disappear'. What a wasted genius."

Another person sarcastically said: "Ten Hag once let Amrabat play left-back instead of Carreras, then sold him to keep Malacia. Too absurd."

Another comment shared thousands of times: "Ten Hag sold Carreras like he was selling a training post, and now he plays like Marcelo in his prime. Ten Hag, God will judge you."

Since leaving MU, Ten Hag's career has continued to decline. He was sacked by Bayer Leverkusen after only 3 games. His replacement, Kasper Hjulmand, has now helped the team climb to 5th place in the Bundesliga.
