The Manchester United team has only been built for a few seasons by Ten Hag and it is very different from Manchester City, I don't think it can be compared and in the future I still believe that if Ten Hag continues to make improvements and cover up the mistakes that have occurred then it is very likely that the Manchester team will United will be perfect again or match Manchester City's level for the title competition.
But, Ten Hag only have a year to build Manchester United, I don't think he can. If Manchester United didn't qualify for Champions League in the next season, I'm 100% believe they will sack Ten Hag ASAP. And then, the problem can't be resolved since the team always change the team for every one or two years.
The best solution is to sign Pep Guardiola or Ancelotti, because if they failed to bring Manchester United glory, the fans will blame the players instead of the managers, so they can survive and build Manchester United for many seasons.
Giving more time to Ten Hag after what he showed this season and the previous season is clearly a condition that is a dilemma in the end because with what he is showing now, with all the conditions that are not going smoothly, giving him 1 year is the song clear as the real dilemma.
Making a proposal for Ancelotti or Pep too is a ridiculous proposal in the end because in any case it will never happen for Manchester United because the conditions for this proposal are more difficult than trying to sack Ten Hag.
As for the problem of criticizing the coach, in the end it is a common and normal thing because in the end when a club's performance is not going well then the coach must be the one who must be responsible and it has become a consequence for a coach in this case, therefore the coach is clear must be required to give the best and must be prepared for the pressure and all the criticism that is received.
