To demand more from Manchester United, you first need to rebuild the team. Ten Hag brought a lot of young players who are simply not capable of fighting for victory in the Premier League, they have no experience. In my opinion, everything is clear here, eight points to Aston Villa, and no matter how much they would like it, they will not be able to finish the season in the top 4, it is quite possible that Manchester United will even be left without European cups this season.
And I don’t know if it makes sense to keep Ten Hag in the team, he’s not a bad coach, but his methods are clearly not suitable for winning the Premier League.
If compared to last season, it can be said that Manchester United failed to perform better this season regardless of what Ten Hag did in the transfer market, but what happened this season is far from management's target.
Now it has been proven that the Manchester United team is not making better progress, so Ten Hag is considered a failure and he should not be able to be retained anymore because if management continues to force Ten Hag then the Manchester United team will not develop.
As for the possibility of Manchester United finishing in the top 4 this season, I think it is very difficult, firstly they are far behind and secondly, in terms of performance, it is impossible for Manchester United to be consistent in order to catch up with them.
