Jose signed Fred
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

Agreed but it's a sackable offence for our negotiators. ETH isn't the one going to the negotiation table and determining the fee and wages.
Get him gone, seen enough
This. Keep peddling the injuries excuse but you can’t excuse the weird tactics and team selection.
Where is the attacking and relentless football promised?
The fact that he watched Antony train everyday in Ajax and yet signed him 100M euro alone is a sackable offend. His signings are all suspects (I know it's supposed to be Murtough's job)

Time to man up or get out for ETH. It’s just so dire, this guy doesn’t get it even with Mourinho’s drab performances he still faced up to his oppositional managers, ETH is a complete damp squib right now!
Indeed. Sancho, Ronaldo and Varane were his.
Only Ronaldo did have a decent season from that bunch, as Varane is just too unreliable, even if great when fit
Who do we go for though to replace him? Its turned into a graveyard for managers at this rate. Maybe zidane.
But our owners are not being punished. They are being rewarded. The club having a £1bn turnover is their aim and it doesn't matter if the team is unsuccessful. Haven't the Dallas Cowboys under achieved for years but are worth a tonne? That's their model. It isn't incompetence. They just don't care.
Yes. When ETH is fired in January or May Murtough should follow him out.
As I have said several times the signings of Mount and Antony will cost ETH his job.
Give him time....remember Fergie in his early days?
Give him 5-6-7 years it needs to be. If not give him TEN.
Sancho was right.
Comparison to 10 games in the seasons Jose and Ole were sacked.
| Boss | Pl | W | D | L | GD | Pts |
| Jose | 10 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 17-17 | 17p |
| Ole | 10 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 19-15 | 17p |
| Erik | 10 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 11-16 | 15p |
Certainly not helped himself with his recruitment. I did say he needs big support in the club though when he came here, a good coach at the wrong club.
85m on Antony, 60m on Mount and we're here again stacked to the fecking brim with attacking mids. it's been the case for 10 fecking years. We desperately need some quality ball playing midfielders, able bodied that can play in 3 man to control games.
We get Matic in and Casemiro that have about 5 months each.

His tactics, team selections, substitutions & transfers are all horrifically bad. He managed to put out an awful team today and still find a way to make it worse with every change he made. It’s almost impressive.
He’s on borrowed time imo.
You cannot spend the money he has spent and look so utterly clueless. We’ve been playing like a group of randoms assembled last week ago. No cohesion at all, no idea how to attack.
His team selection is also utterly bizarre in 4 games out of 5. He has no idea what to do and how to turn it around.

Persisting with Bruno and Rashford will also cost him his job.
That’s on the club not on ETH
That like shit stain needs to go before ETH.
Very few managers in world football spend over £400 million in 12 months and have almost total control over who Is bought.
His signings have made us worse. His tactics are dreadful. His in game management is non existent. His substitutions are usually too late and are mostly poor.
We get tactically outclassed by the majority of teams we play. We don’t score goals. We concede goals like a leaky sieve.
What exactly is ETH doing that deserves time?

He isnt a good coach. The constant batterings show that. No excuses.
He isn’t good enough but no one is.
Until this grand old club gets a reboot, nothing will change. I’ve even seen calls for Pochettino. It’s laughable how short term some of you are - he’s going to encounter exactly the same issues as Ole, Ten Hag etc.
Jose was right.
I hold Gary O'Neil in high regards. Howe has shown that you can move from a smaller club to a bigger one. De Zerbi is also very interesting. There is no Pep or Klopp out there.
Should be sacked. He has been given more than enough resources to serve up better than we have this season. I don't expect us to compete against City, but we have been absolute rubbish in every game this season except the cup match vs Palace.
Yes, Glazers and the management have been terrible but the manager has been backed with lot of singings and so far not a single player looks up to the standard. Not a single player!
Liverpool went through a plethora of managers before they stumbled upon Klopp. It looks like we will have to go down a similar route until we find the one and sometimes that may mean firing a manager who isn't solely at fault but that's part of the job description.

It’s time for both to go and Arnold, United needs a complete reset right now and start from the bottom.
I wonder if the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham, Villa, Arsenal etc all thought the same before they sacked their managers and got a better one in.
He's never tried progressive attacking football his entire time here.
It's not the amount that matters, it's the quality of players. We've spent obscene amounts on Sancho, Maguire, and many other shits that ETH inherited.
I knew he's going to get sacked eventually, relatively soon when I realized how shit Antony is and he spent 100m euros on him. While knowing Antony and his limitations as his former manager.
That was around December last year.

Indeed, he has done tremendous job and has been let down by the owners so badly. You can see what he can do when he gets the players he specifically wants like Antony and Mount.
He had equal say in that signing. Let’s not find reasons to absolve him from blame when Mount was his primary signing this sunmer
I don't want to see the club get on the managerial carousel again... but jeez this has a very familiar stink to it.
How much more money should we give him to spend? This is for the those that are ETH in
Bad patch
We've been generally shite under him. If anything - any good period that we might have had (and I can't think of a period, maybe 2 or 3 performances) were the patch.
-5 GD. 5 Losses in 10 games. 11 goals scored <- this is what you're defending

The midfield setup and player base is just bizarre.
He's had a rough go of it with all the injuries and off-field bullshit around the club, but he's not doing himself many favours.
The inexplicable selection decisions are starting to pile up:
The inexplicable selection decisions are starting to pile up:
- Bruno on the wing has worked precisely once, against Barca, and he just keeps fecking doing it.
- Leaves Eriksen on the bench against all the weaker sides he could be useful against then starts him in a game where he knows we're not going to get a kick.
- Benches Antony when we need his (admittedly few) strengths more than ever. Someone to put in a shift defensively, keep the ball when he gets it and buy a few free kicks would have been nice.
- Fernandes and Rashford literally just can't play badly enough to get dropped.
- McTominay starting and playing the full 90 when he offers absolutely nothing outside of the opposition box.
- Hojlund, our only halfway threatening player, gets hooked like clockwork after 70'.
Whoever we get we will put them on a 3 year deal, give a big extension after 12 months and sack them 6 months later.
Stop downplaying. This isn't a bad patch. This terrible run of form started after we won the league cup.
It is his second season, while the other 2 were in their third.
At United, managers get a lot of time. ETH wont be sacked so early into his second season.
Was today the tangible turning point that ushers ETH out or did it happen earlier ?
