Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has spoken about departed Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch.
The Red Devils are preparing to take on Leeds twice in a week, as they play on Wednesday and then over the weekend.
Both clashes are in the Premier League, with United at home in midweek.
Leeds will have a trio of assistants, Michael Skubala, Paco Gallardo and Chris Armas, in charge of the first game.
It's always sad if a manager is a colleague and gets sacked, in general I don't believe in it that if you sack a manager you get better results," said ten Hag to reporters this week.
Most of the time, it doesn't work. Let managers do their work, finish their work and then make a good evaluation.
Obviously, the pressure is high with the decision makers in football clubs and they turn. But if you see the facts, you see the stats, most of the time it doesn't work out well."
He added on preparations for the game changing: Definitely and you don't know. We have to be aware of that. When Jesse was at Leeds, it was clear how they play, their way of play, system, style.
Now, it's possible they change but it's also possible they don't change. We will find out on the pitch tomorrow and then we need good anticipation on that if they change, and if not, we know what to do. Bad anticipation for instance against Villa, the difference for them when Emery came in is they had a week to prepare and now they [Leeds] don't have so much time to prepare.
We will see but we need good anticipation and to be proactive."
