He’s ended United’s trophy drought. He cleared deadwood. He’s bringing a change in dressing room attitude (eg - Sancho not being allowed until he apologizes) and honestly, United aren’t playing THAT bad. Yesterday’s 3-0 loss was wayyy better than last year’s 6-3. Also losing 3-0 to City isn’t that shameful considering the form and desperation we are in.
The fans, management and players have to back him and give him time. He’ll bring a change. It takes time, fixing a 10 year long fuck up. Can’t be done in 4-6 months, will need a year or so at least. Have faith
(Ps I’m a City fan)
I’m not gonna be all smart and claim he should (or shouldn’t) be fired, but I don’t think people defend any other manager as much as Ten Hag.
He’s had some quite some time, spent good money on players he wanted, and there’s still not a clear playing style. When you contrast that with Ange or De Zerbi it becomes striking. Also concerning that he won’t or can’t bench players who obviously deserve to be benched.
Would it be better with a new coach? No idea. Maybe even a bigger circus.
