Manchester United realistic target this season is to win the Europa League trophy and finish in the top four of the Premier League standings, Jim Ratcliffe will most likely fire Ten Hag if he fails to realize it. The club top brass will no longer want to swallow the sweet promises made by Ten Hag, the FA Cup is not enough to cover the club expenses and player spending, it is just entertainment. The guarantee given to Ten Hag until December, if he fails to improve the team performance then he must leave his position. It does feel unfair to say that Ten Hag is not the right person to serve as The Red Devils manager, but in many opportunities that have been given, luck seems to be not on his side. Hopefully this season he will no longer have conflicts with the players, and can also control the dressing room completely.

If we consider the squad quality, Man United surely has a good chance to win Europa league. But the problem is about their consistency in playing, it may be hard to reach the final Europa league if they still can't maintain good performance. Regarding finishing in the top 4 in EPL, honestly it is ever harder that winning Europa league trophy. Grin

If Man United management wants to be patient, they don't need to fire Ten Hag. Just give him another season, until his contract is over in 2026. It is not easy to find out a new coach, why don't to accept a small trophy like FA Cup? I think as long as Ten Hag can win a trophy, he deserves to get another chance. In my own perspective, Ten Hag deserves to be the coach/manager of Man United. But sure, he needs to keep good relationship among the players, and he must put the players in their best position. Also, Ten Hag needs to improve the mentality of Man United players.

Regarding the luck, it is something difficult to explain. You can't say that the luck isn't in Ten Hag's side. It is all about the efforts, tactics, and management ability. The luck is sometimes a small part to determine the success. Well, we must remember that we never rely on the luck. Ten Hag also can't rely on the luck to win the matches.
