It makes sense if we take Manchester United's defeat to the Premier League because then there is no reason for the Red Devils not to focus on improving their performance in the Premier League. There are positive points, right? However, if this opportunity is not utilized properly and instead makes Manchester United enjoy their downturn, it means that this season will be an unforgettable season, especially for United fans. Of the 38 matches, there are 27 remaining matches and in my opinion it is still long enough for Ten Hag to develop this club. At least they can occupy the top 5 standings at the end of the season (if only).
Manchester United occupying the top 5 position by the end of the premier league, is it with Ten Hag serving as a head coach of Manchester United or with someone else? Because if it is with Ten Hag, I will tell you that's mission impossible(judging by Manchester United's present performance). But if it is with a new coach, the possibility can be there.
The only way forward for Manchester United to make it to the top position of the premier league this season is to have a change of coach, now there are many matches(27) to be played. Let the new coach build the team to be formidable and sign new players by the January transfer window.
Manchester United to continue keeping Ten Hag as their head coach with the hope that Manchester United would improve would make matters worse and they'll lose more points
