Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
There's no point in sacking him now since there's nothing left to play for anyway. Top 4 is well out of reach and even with a good manager, the squad we have just isn't good enough to get it from this position. We're safe from relegation and dodging Europa might actually be a good thing, since the new manager won't have to spread the squad too thin for an extra competition that we don't really care about.
An interim manager is pointless, because we already have one and his name is Erik ten Hag. An interim won't turn our season around from here and INEOS obviously wants to get a good replacement for ETH and not repeat the Ole incident by giving an interim manager a permanent spot after a purple patch that doesn't really mean anything.
He's gone after the season anyway, he knows it and everyone in the backroom knows it, it's just too late to sack now so it's pointless. We should have been rid of him after losing to Bournemouth 3-0 at home, but at this point the damage is already done and there's nothing for us to recover, so might as well just keep him around to keep the seat warm for his replacement.

Because he is actually a good manager, just not an elite one that United needs. You don't dominate so many good teams in the CL by a fluke. Only clowns that can only look at things in extremes would call him a fraud.
Feck me...that is atrocious.
Manager and half of the squad should be out the door this summer. The club needs a reset.
Two years, £400 million spent and he has us playing a knockoff brand of Ole’s counter attacking football against City. Just without any of the actual counter attacking. Just sat there two banks of four like a lower league team in an FA cup tie against one of the big boys.
It’s tragic. And anyone still supporting this shite is an idiot.

Yeah but how many of those 27 were clear cut chances.
I would have preferred if utd actually tried to win possession from start, since utd decided with defensive football with zero interest in winning the ball then u have to guarantee u play your absolute bollocks off not to concede. Utd lost intensity progressively and then city score.. now the overall negativity continues and btw that was shitty game of football, sorry Eric but u can’t defend anything about this game
That year after year this club gets shat on by its rivals is quite incredible. The club have no standards or spine whatsoever.
27 shots against. They should win in bigger margin.
Can Ineos please please just put him out of his misery. At this point, we are just looking for an uplift not having ETH as a manager rather than the negativity he brings, for the final 10 or so games.
Forget sacking Ten Hag. Time to sack football all together
There's been way too many of these performances now. Even with better organisation and recruitment it seems highly unlikely he turns us into a title winning side.
I hope Ineos have somebody lined up

My mistake
Sadly he’s done. I was a fan of him last season and happy when we appointed him but he’s just not up to it.
I’ll be massively surprised if he’s still here by 1st June.

Old Trafford record still stands for like 40 years. Since 1984."the bigger picture looks good"
wow, I thought it was an Old Trafford only thing
This is home and away for like 10 years, it has stood. It has collapsed today.
Gormless, worthless, useless manager.
Worst manager in the league, no substance to his game, no system of defence, no system of attack.
I don’t blame him, our squad is shocking
another damning display of his transfers as well. And then the man has the nerve to moan about FFP ... how about just not spending hundreds of millions on those kind of players?!?
Yeah I’m done. Not just with him, but the coaching staff he’s dragged along.
Geriatric Steve McLaren coaching guys on modern English football? No.
Get these guys out, nobody has a clue behind the scenes. Their incompetence is being mirrored on the pitch with the tactics, conditioning and movement. All 3 are nonexistent.

He is atrocious, isn't he? 2 shots vs 27 for City, 26% possession is something that even a relegation team fans' would be fuming at the end.
We've fecked it by not getting rid of ten Hag quick enough. Now it's too late and we've fecked ourselves for top 5 meaning no CL and severe FFP restrictions next season. Next season will be yet another transition season.
I think ETH (and previous managers) are dealt a crap hand. So much of football is about the squad, with outgoings being just as important as incomings.
If you look at our rivals, they manage to get players who aren't good enough or just don't suit the managers style out the club, we don't do that. We spend, spend, spend without moving players on and end up with a group of players who just don't suit the same style of play.
Ten Hag will be gone come July and it will not be because we got turned over at the Emptyhad. It will be because he was too stubborn to manage the players he has, not the players he wants to have.
Today, just like last year's Carabao Cup final, showed Ten Hag is plenty capable of coaching a compact defensive set up. He's simply chosen not to. That's left us get ran through by teams throughout the league.
We could not play low block every week. However, a compact mid block, with our players engaging on halfway rather than on the 18 yard box would have saved us against so many teams. We have made the likes of Fulham and Nottingham Forest look like United 2008, just because of our naive setup on transitions.
Excuses can be made but at the end of the day it's the coach's job to get results. When you see team after team making chance after chance, and you don't change (like you did after Brentford away last season), you gotta take the blame.

Amen. We shouldn't be critical of a manager for only losing 3-1 to our rivals. Plucky little United should be grateful to the mighty Hag keeping it respectable. It's not like he has any part to play in the quality of the team. That's all Woodwards faultWeird game to choose to criticise him for. Not sure what most people were expecting. Look at the XI that finished the matchunbelievable.
Yeah, in fairness, this game could have gone a lot worse and he really didn't have many options in his squad for a game like this one..Weird game to choose to criticise him for. Not sure what most people were expecting. Look at the XI that finished the match
Leave City alone, let's look at ourselves. How many clear cut chances have we produced?
How people still support this kind of football is a mystery to me.
Ridiculous to blame him for everything. Obviously his time here is done, but surely you have to see that the club is toxic and it's been toxic for a decade. Hopefully INEOS changes that.
Bruno and Rashford need to go immediately. The very presence of these two absolutely negates any chance for us to dominate and control a game.

Many of our top 10 worst transfer decisions came in ETHs time. That says it all, he needs to go asap.
We skipped Fred for peanuts, skipped some young midfielders and then massively overpaid for all his signings. Antony is definitely the worst, maybe Mount but who knows with that injury history.
I can say without doubt this is the most dreadful united team in my plus 30 years

Half of the squad he assembled
Ole was better, wasn't he?
"Give the manager time"
Last week was way more damaging than this one.
If you can lose at home to Fulham, it's laughable to expect anything away against City.

Nobody is blaming him for everything. They blame him for the crap he’s responsible for. Which is a lot.
Played a park the bus counter, which was the only real tactic. Had a feck load of injuries. We defended the fort like hero's for the most part but it was never going to be sustainable. A loss is a loss, but he needs to win his bread and butter games to stand a chance.
Nonsense. We should cut our losses the sooner rather than later. Though there have been several points across the season where sacking him would have been even more beneficial than now. We should sack him now to get our replacement either straight away or on a pre-contract before Barca, bayern etc get there first. We also should sack him now and hope for a bounce and better tactics so we can close the gap between us and Villa whilst it is mathematically possible.
Nobody has been worth any time. Jose was our most successful and he was crap too. None of them deserve much credit.
This has crept in recently.
But then the Moyes didn't get enough time nonsense does from time to time still.
