Yeah, that's an excuse for him, he's got a lot of players and needs to try a lot of combinations. But I look at other coaches who come into the position and many of them manage to get the players to start winning. Maybe not the first time round, yes, but they clearly haven't had as much time as Ten Hag has. Others would have been fired a long time ago if they were him.....
Ten Hag is actually quite lucky because he was given the opportunity to continue coaching Man United after he failed to lead Manchester United last season and got a very bad ranking in the Premier League standings. And last season Man United also failed too quickly in the UCL group stage. Ten Hag was lucky to secure a ticket to the Europa League due to winning the FA Cup. And yes, that is what continues to make the club continue to give Ten Hag a chance. And yeah if it was any other coach then probably another coach would have been fired if he was in Ten Hag's position. But what's unique about Ten Hag is that he doesn't seem to show any fear of being fired. And he even continues to speak confidently that if he is no longer at Man United next season then he will try elsewhere. Well, it was the strong self-confidence of a ten hag that made the club think twice about sacking him. It is even reported that Ten Hag will also get a contract extension. Isn't that unique. Ten Hag escaped dismissal and was immediately offered a contract extension.
