Erik Ten Hag Sack Watch

It's better for him to stay than just replace him for the sake if it.

Reasonsble.

Problem is that after watching a shitload of UTD games this season, I have no clue what his football is, what is the idea here.

I hope we find out.

Absolutely. When the alternatives were Southgate, Pochetino and a whole bunch of other mediocre managers, its better to keep him.

Now looking back, the FA cup win indeed brought back some goodwill regarding him among the fans and I am sure also the board. The fact that now everyone's saying 'had we had a full set of players to choose from for majority of the season' things would have been different and all conveniently forgetting he himself would have had a part in those recurring injuries to players.
Anyway yea new structure, lets see how will he fare. Clearly in the no excuses territory now. 6 months to show improvement, if else fek off. Keep playing Antony ahead of Amad, yea fek off.

No excuses now. We thinking he's still here come December?


Mazraoui will be playing LB a lot I imagine, Shaw will play like a quarter of the season

I have no idea what the plan is with Hojlund and Zirkzee, I hear Zirkzee isn't exactly a goal monster, dunno who our #1 is gonna be, Hojlund still a young lad so need to take some pressure off him, Garnacho should 1000000% start ahead of Rashford, who offers nothing and that doesn't seem like it will change this season

Still miffed ETH has saddled us with Mount and Antony who will be here for years to come.

Anyway, my optimism levels going into the season aren't very high, I think we will continue to have issues with chance creation and goals and controlling games even against shit teams. We'll just play for counters against top 6 opposition. I'd like to see us sell Mctom and bring in Rabiot on a free. before the end of the window too.

qualification for the CL should be the only aim this season and I think it will be tough, but I reckon we'll just about do it. City, Pool and Arsenal will finish above us.

I'd say we could go for the EL too because we actually have a deep squad now, but I know we'll be plagued with injuries as usual.

Shoring up the backline will be immense if Martinez can stay fit at least until Yoro is back but then I think, how many points will Onana cost us this season?

Dont worry, just play Evans XD Keep playing him n he might go on to become completely bald as well XD

Onana
Mazraoui De Ligt Martinez Shaw
Mainoo Ugarte
Diallo Bruno Garnacho
Sancho?

Never thought but Man U all of a sudden look better n prolly just missing up front scorer, will be interesting to see

Some impressive work being done at the academy level by Ineos. Signed 16 yo Chido Obi Martin from Arsenal, Samuel Lusale from Crystal Palace and now Mali U17 world cup squad member, the highly sought after DM Sekou Kone.

More on exclusive news on Sékou Koné to join Manchester United.

Deal 100% agreed and done, documents will be signed after medical next week.

£1m transfer fee plus several add-ons based on performances.

Guess what, all you need was actual football people in footballing positions instead of some bankers. It was that easy after all.

How many Klopp players are still playing at Liverpool? How is it that basically every other Manager can get their team playing their way of football in a matter of months whilst we need to recreate that entire 2019 Ajax team and find 7 Dragonballs to even get close? https://t.co/AEQJFNdaYP

True tbh, I've been thinking about this

In retrospect was that Ajax team of 19 that good? I ask because I did not follow football that closely that year

Should have been in the CL final really.

ETH played with such balls back then. Schone and de Jong double pivot, sometimes even just de Jong anchoring. Nowadys it's probably gonna be Casemiro and Ugarte.

Yea thats the single most disappointing aspect so far re Ten Hag's tenure. I dont know what happened to the fearless manager who made his team play free flowing football at Ajax. Its like whenever any decent coach comes to United, they catch this bug of cowardice. Their tactics, team selections, substitutions all seem defensive and cowardly. May be its the weight the club places on their shoulders.

It's the club.

Reminds me of Inter decade before Conte. Every manager would come with ideas for 2-3 games, and lose his balls entirely and turn into a timid turd, get the sack. One after another, like clockwork, for 10 years.

At least United gave ETH both time and his players, so I can hardly blame them too much.

RVN will come to the rescue.

ten Hag just isnt very good. Huge difference between the pressure at Ajax compared to United who are still in the shadow of the greatest manager of all time.

It's very easy to get your team to play such aesthetic football but even that runs out. Time and time its proven he has no idea what he is doing beyond the base level of his system. All the money and time given and yet he remains a bald fraud, genuinely.

Slot i fear, won't be much different.

Brace yourselves, a long season is coming

They are considering Allegri apparently

Just give the rest of the season to RVN.

Ole wasn't so bad in hindsight, was he.

tick tock

guy is a shambles tactically

What happened to him I dont know. He was quite decent in the first season. Progressively became weaker and weaker to the point now it looks utterly pathetic and untenable. Same can be said about his players. What has happened to Lisandro Martinez. He was exceptional for us in his first season. Now is playing every game like a drunkard. Worse than Marcos Rojo. For his own legacy/sanity to remain tact, I genuinely wish him to resign if the Ineos idiots continue to dither with the sacking. This is even worse than Ole's and Mourinho's final days as far as I can remember.
