I wonder what Ten Hag is still doing in Manchester United as their coach when he has underperformed in his ability to carry all the players along particularly the star players signed into the club. It was not a misfortune that Ronaldo could not perform as much as he could have done when he was at the Man U team earlier. The difference is, during the time of Sir Alex Ferguson, he got a more flourishing ground to play and exercise his skills in delivering the club. When he later came back for the second time, Erik Ten Hag could not manage Ronaldo to his best, hence the low performance experienced in the club.
I also asked the same question and it looks more rhetoric because no answer. Only Manchester United can cabals can answer the question since they are the ones seeing this bad result and they are the ones still keeping him to represent the club as the head coach. I don't know how reserved and serious Manchester United owners are but I know for sure that Manchester City will not be this tolerant to accept this performance Manchester United is doing.
Sir Alex is an icon and he is the only coach thay has manage Manchester United with passion, such type of leader that put players before himself and make sure they don't disappoint and he is not too good at pointing fingers. If Manchester United legacy was built like this, he wouldn't reach this level for sure because there wouldn't be that time to show his true color. Is there even a player in Manchester United that can take the club on his shoulder like the ex players, I'm not sure.
