After Manchester United's convincing win in their league game against Southampton over the weekend, I saw a some fans of the club who were initially demanding the sack of Erik ten Hag begin to say so many good things about the team and why ten Hag can still improve the team in no distant time.
That's been the kind of confusing and contradicting remarks the Dutchman have left with them since he became the club manager Go on a losing streak, win when the ovation is very low and regain the support of the club fans again.
Personally, I don't consider Manchester United a strong contender for the UEFA Europa League trophy this season and I don't think the current manager of the club have what it takes to prove me wrong.
What every fans want is to see their club in progress and not declining in form. If goh observed in the beginning of the season when Ten Hag won his first game, the fans gained confidence in him thinking that he has really worked on the team bug after that winning almost bevame a problem for United and that made the fans worried that Ten Hag is not doing his job as a coach. This waa one of the reason why they wanted him to be fired because there's no evidence to prove that he is building a team to become champions tomorrow.
But basically we will not be able to judge the performance of the team to compete in the Europa League based on their performance in the domestic League because team that performs well in the domestic League may not necessarily continue to perform well in Europa League competition and vice versa.
Honestly, for Manchester United fans, there are those who are satisfied with Manchester Uniter performance at the beginning of the season with 2 wins but there are also those who say that Manchester United performance is not so satisfying because the players in the two defeats have made several mistakes.
I myself still waiting for how Manchester United will develop later in the Europa League match, if they can complete 8 matches well and qualify from the play-off round then clearly that is good achievement, but if they fail and experience more lots defeats then I will not believe that they will be contender in the title race, after that, trust in Ten Hag performance will also slowly disappear.
