Erik ten Hag says relentless comments and public criticism of former Manchester United players in the media is "difficult" for his players.
Former Man Utd players Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Paul Scholes Rio Ferdinand and Peter Schmeichel all work in the current media and regularly check on the club's situation.
This week, Ten Hag won praise from a number of former players following their Europa League victory over Barcelona, with Schmeichel calling him "Sir Alex Ferguson".
The Dutchman acknowledged that regular discussions and scrutiny weighed on the players, but acknowledged that they had to accept it as part of the job.
Ten Hag said: "Sometimes it is difficult for players today because there are so many things about the past, the great history that former players have done and I can imagine those players saying it because they love the club. It is a part of their lives.
What they love most is what they criticize most often, so I can understand, but sometimes it hurts the players, it's obvious, but I also think it's part of our job, you have to live with the criticism. And consider it a gift to do better. ”
