Chris Sutton believes Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was out of line for claiming Mail Sport’s football editor Ian Ladyman has ‘no knowledge’ of football after his side’s FA Cup final win against Manchester City on Saturday.

United overcame favourites City 2-1 at Wembley, with Ten Hag putting uncertainty over his future behind him to guide his team to a famous win.

Following the game, Ten Hag insisted in his press conference that United were exactly where he wanted them to be, but Ladyman pushed back on this after the Red Devils recorded their worst-ever Premier League finish this season.

Ladyman suggested the Dutchman should have been able to get more out of his players despite a high number of injuries, but Ten Hag refused to accept this, arguing that Ladyman must have ‘no knowledge’ of the game if he held this view.

Reacting to Ten Hag’s terse response, Sutton told Mail Sport’s It’s All Kicking Off podcast that it was nothing more than a ‘cheap shot’ from the United manager, and insisted Ladyman had every right to pull him up on his disappointing campaign at Old Trafford.
