  1. If ten Hag was sacked tonight, who would you have as an interim?

    I don't think he'd come back for another game against Pep that he's likely to lose. Even if that game is for a trophy.
  2. If ten Hag was sacked tonight, who would you have as an interim?

    I could maybe see Ole coming back in as interim but why do you think Jose would want to and what would he bring to the table if he did come back?
  3. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    You realize that Manchester United have been relegated, right? Hyperbole aside, I'd say the Moyes season was still worse than this when you consider that the squad was mostly unchanged from the season before when they won the league.

    What is the point of these tweets?

    I'd be ok with those pens being given if we were afforded the same standard. Hojlund got taken down in the box with more contact being made than either pen but theres not even a replay. I know the crowd plays a role but that was a very biased refereeing performance.
  6. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    We're talking past each other here I think. My initial response to you was on why EtH allowed the Casemiro transfer then you brought up the EtH quotes regarding transfer control. Anyways I agree that both EtH and Murtough should be sacked so we can leave it there.

    Here's what the poster said initially that I was responding to : I reckon if you asked ten Hag, he'd be bold enough to accept responsibility for how the squad building has gone since he came in. The club shouldn't have ceded to him but as he said, that was the only way to get him on board...
  8. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    I'm pushing back because what you're saying isn't true. Here's the quote: "I don't want to be the sole ruler, I stand for cooperation, but control in transfers is a condition for me." Unless you ignore the first line I don't see how you could come to the conclusion that he wanted/asked for...

    Well maybe I'm a bit dense today but I don't see a point in what you typed. If your point is that ETH wanted total control over transfers then you're just wrong.
  10. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Maybe he would claim responsibility but the man who's responsibility it actually is, is Murtough. Those quotes are mis used quite often on here. He never says he wants full control and he even says he doesn't want to be the sole ruler.
  11. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    I'd imagine it was because we'd just lost our first two games, needed a midfielder, and Casemiro was made available to the club. You could also ask why Murtough signed off seeing as it's literally his job to plan for the future. Managers push for ready made players all the time since it's such...

    Are you deliberately ignoring the bit that says "I don't want to be the sole ruler, I stand for cooperation..."?
  13. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Versions, sure. However I'd be surprised if anyone genuinly thinks that 90 percent of our players are sh*t and the players that eth has brought in are throwing him under the bus. I guess I'm just tired of all the strawman arguments being thrown around.
  14. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Surely 3) is the only defense anyone has actually said. It's also true to a degree. The rest of your points are exaggerated to make your argument.

    I wish Onana had conceded a foul for that punch at the start of the season, we'd have had 3 or 4 extra pens by now.
