The second season for ten Hag will be decisive - it will no longer be possible to blame everything on his predecessors or on Ronaldo. Although I support United, I think next season will be worse than this one - just at least due to the fact that Liverpool and Chelsea will return to business (presumably) and in such conditions even getting into the top 4 will be a very difficult task.
Winning the Caraboa Cup and as well finishing the season in the top four of the English Premier League table is actually a big achievement for Erik Ten Hag. He deserves appreciation for what he's been able to do the the United sqaud last season.
However, Manchester United is a big club that deserves more than doing whatever he was able to achieve this season. If United doesn't do better than what they've achieved this season at the end of next season, then Erik Ten Hag must be released of his manager I duties so that it can pave way for a better manager to takeover
Absolutely right. A third cup and a place in the top four is not what United are interested in - at least they need to fight for one of the main titles (at least a Champions League semi-final and a real rivalry for the Premier League title), everything else is a nice bonus to the main achievements but no more.
And a lot will depend on transfers, so far United are behaving like an average club but not a real contender for the top places.
