Played 6 matches, got 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses for a total of 7 points. That's what Manchester United have got so far this season, I don't think they deserve these conditions with the squad they have. Many people started to comment that ETH's strategy was not suitable for the players, some even linked it with Jadon Sancho who could perform well at Chelsea.
Their latest defeat at the Theater of Dreams against Tottenham Hotspur really surprised many people, is it time for ETH to leave Manchester United? If he really leaves, who do you think is a suitable manager at Manchester United?
Manchester United have not given up on Erik Ten Hag. They believe in his ability to turn things around in the club, could it be that the bosses at Manchester United are seeing something that we can’t? Ten Hag’s building plan may look good on paper but the poor results are telling on the mentality of the players. I suspect the players are beginning to doubt the strategy of the manager and are not following his instructions. Manchester United should sack Erik Ten Hag and bring in a manager that will instill confidence in the players.
Erik ten Hag would, at any rate, be given plenty of opportunities at Manchester United with the full backing and the belief he could have turned things around. A reputation for being a very strict coach, the ability to build strong teams— this is what he proved at Ajax. His idea about team-building on paper seemed quite promising, especially regarding the acquisition of players by whom the quality of the team could have been uplifted.
Regrettably, the results up to now have not matched the level of the fans or the club. Manchester United still show this inconsistency on the field—though there are bouts of good moments, this is encapsulated by the team’s performances on the whole. The question then arises as to whether there is implementation from the players in reality as well as at the ground level of the strategy that Ten Hag wants to see, or deeper trust issues in the dressing room with the manager.
