In my opinion, there is no amount of pressure that will be on Manchester United coach and he will lose the match against Southampton. To me, losing the match against Southampton could be signing his sack letter. I trust that he understands this very well and he will work his way out to beat Southampton. Manchester United fans and management are even worried with the current position of Manchester United after playing some few matches. If any team wants to make the top four, it starts now and not in the 11th hour.
The fact that coaches take the blame for each loss the team has just something that keeps me up wondering sometimes because clearly it's not just the coach that has the part to play but even the players yet only the coach gets sacked when the team loses.
For Manchester United there are lots of fact that contribute to the team not performing well and in my opinion the coach shouldn't take the blame only but including the players, so if Southampton gets to win Manchester united for any reason the coach shouldn't in my opinion face any judgement even though he has a big part to play in training, development and strategizing the game plan for each match yet players might training get the plan but play something different while on pitch.
Fact remains that Ten Hag is not responsible for the teams constantly losing their match even though his part of it but not just him the way people make it seem like his the cause of everything that Manchester united has been facing.
