can u tell that dude to talk faster , is he slow or summat

Just what sense does it make to sack him? What’s he done? Antony is his only mistake! Do you want Carlos ‘cry me a river’ kickaball to dictate the dressing room in ManU! The only thing the glazers got right was EtH- and he has not gone and bought players in just to save his job; rather he’s taken hard decisions on players to set himself up with FFP in mind to get out be better equipped to attract better players with good projects, get Manchester United players!!! We couldn’t look at Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City who’ve done repeatedly well for the past 10 years! Just let Eric tH do his work for at least 1/2 seasons with a better squad; and see whether you are on the right path!! Just out of interest, how many managers under so much pressure would bring through 3 players under 21! How many managers have produced that iconic photo of 3 youngsters sitting on the Ad Board for such an iconic moment in the last 10 years!!!

One of my first memories of watching utd play was the 2008 Champions Leagues finals with Chelsea. I had no clue about utd or the premier league or the nuances of football play. Fuck I didn't even understand what an offside was or why a free kick was awarded. Why did I watch this match? Simply because my friends were playing it in my hostel block's TV. I only remember one thing from that day - the red team is playing so good; always moving forward, working to get the ball back from the blue team; so energetic, intense. Fast forward, I'm a utd fan for about 16 years now. I became an utd fan before I understood football, before I knew who sir Alex is, before I realized the success of this club, before I studied the history of this great club. I became a fan for the style of play we had and for the never give up attitude we evinced. And I also firmly believe nobody should be above our club. The Team comes first. Let us now remind ourselves what we were saying when Ten Hag took the helm of our club. "He needs atleast 3 summers to set things right". Let us also remind ourselves what we were saying when Qatar and Ineos were bidding. "Wow! with the right owners and structure around him, Ten Hag could do much better and bring us back to where we belong". All of a sudden he is not good enough? So we all wake up one fine day and decide "okay he needs to go because he lost a few games" ???? Shall we call out some of these lazy players for who they actually are? This is the second season syndrome among the players that cost us our managers before. These players can't track back in time when asked to, leaving gaping holes in the play for opponents to punish us. Some of them with poor work rate, no intensity to win the ball back or come back from the clutches of defeat. Not caring to run into the right positions irrespective whether you get the ball or not. But they will not miss a beat to give interviews to make themselves look good. Remember this is the same manager who made us look good (relatively to this season) with Wout Weghorst upfront last season. What the hell ???? When you look back our recent games after Ole's podcast interview at Overlap, a lot is making sense now. For anyone who says this manager treated some of these players without respect or shows partiality: - he gave Sancho time off to rejuvenate and mentally recover and get fit; shielded him from media, protected him and gave him his fair share of chances when he came back. Mind you we lacked and still lack squad depth at that time. So his miss was costly but much needed for him to get back to form. He puts himself first over the team then fuck him - CR7; Now I have huge respect for what he has done to our club. But let's call a spade a spade shall we. some of his claims from the Piers interview doesn't match up. I agree may be Ten Hag didn't want him in the team, he might have had other preferences, but to say he disrespected him? Ten Hag made CR7 the captain for the game against Fulham before the international break and before the interview aired. CR7 says his child was sick when the season started and he had to be with the family at that time, but the club and the manager didn't believe him? Wasn't he the one trying to leave the club during the summer with his agent pimping all over the place? Let us not forget throughout the summer when Ten Hag was pestered about CR7 he remained very respectful of him and kept protecting him, rather the opposite of what CR7 claims the manager did. - Even when Maguire lost his playing 11 spot or stripped of his captaincy Ten Hag didn't throw him under the bus. - His partiality towards Antony - he lost his playing 11 spot already. Doesn't these tell you something about this man ??? If people don't realize this then either they are either delusional or have a personal agenda or just simply trolls looking to spark debates.

⁠@@schuku9912finally some sense among the madness, I completely agree with you mate (except the part about arsenal doing well for 10 years😂). Not only is Ten Hag NOT the problem, and we all know what the problem is, but the alternative options are absolutely crap. We don’t want Tommy Tickles and we definitely don’t want Gareth Southgate. Is it really a sackable offence to not win the league with Lindelof at left back? Or Maguire and Evans at centre half??? Does anyone expect Gareth Southgate to come in and turn our mess of a squad into a world beating team?? Ten Hag simply has to be given time to clear the deadwood and have a functioning squad instead of the mismatch of different players bought for different managers under different systems. We’re in the mess we are in because no manager has been given the time required to work. The media constantly tell us “united are 5 years away from challenging.”….. yet the media also keep screaming for us to go straight back to day 1 when the project isn’t complete within 2 years 🤷‍♂️. This is all just an easy story to print bullshit when they’ve got nothing else to say. It’s easy to say “city and Liverpool have the best managers and are well run clubs”…. But both clubs gave their managers time to work. Neither Klopp or Pep won the league immediately.

the dumbest post on the net today

Exactly. The old “I don’t want him to be sacked, but let’s talk about him getting sacked” line is SHITE

Agreed. Sensational click bait. Exhausting stuff.

Fix EVERYTHING ELSE. Front office, players. Then I'd think about a new manager AGAIN.

💯 agree. Claiming you don’t want a change yet headlining every conversation with who will be the replacement is contradictory and inciting

Feels like INEOS are essentially laying down the propaganda in readiness to just replace the manager, not clear out the players and sign nobody of value.

Thats someone’s report. We also seen reports thats its zidane, nagelsman and inzaghi

Did david ornstein report that? If not then its bullshit

​​@@Charlie_NiceNot a chance, de zerbi hasn't proven anything or stayed around for long at jobs, frank hasn't proven anything and Southgate is a joke

@@Charlie_Niceyour logic convinced me!

Please none of these

Absolutely agree. Onana give him time cause of the injuries... Why not ten Haag? Made no sense to me. Constant chatter about Brighton comparing apples and oranges

James Ducker, especially for United news, is as good as it gets. Always one of the first to report things and sometimes THE first. You can name me times he's reported the wrong information regarding United in years.

​@@Am-lj3yyfirst? Who cares about first?

Rather trust Fabrizio, Ornstein, Whitwell, Mitten and Adam Crafton @@Am-lj3yy

@Geoff_1975,I totally agree with what you said. Since Fergie I haven't seen any manager have to deal with as much off the field nonesense as Erik. Add in all the injuries, poor VAR decisions, and top it all off with the uncertainty of the takeover bid it's been chaos right through. Then also consider this team is still no built even close to the managers liking. It's ridiculous and if it were Ole Joe n Jay would have been singing a different tune.

That's what you took from this interview??? I'm now more convinced than ever that Ten Hag is NOT the right guy. I think he should stay til the end of the season just to give him the chance to prove himself but I can't see any of the new management team having faith in him. I don't think the majority of players do either. Re-watch the part where he talks about how ten hag sets us up to play, how we're constantly exposed and how we can't pass. That's got nothing to do with having a director of football or a good CEO. That's coaching. That's about tactics. Those are HIS instructions. The fact that it has never worked and has never been addressed and changed shows that this guy is not the right man. Can you honestly see a way where ten hag actually lifts the prem title for Manchester United ?

⁠@@mundolioknows6447 I think he was talking about the stick to football interview. Given everything we’ve heard about these players, I’m surprised you actually think they have the character and mentality to go on the pitch and execute the manger’s instructions perfectly, he had his preferred 11 last season and we weren’t getting exposed as much, they played well enough to win a trophy and finish 3rd. Regardless of tactics, the players still have to execute!! You’re clearly ten hag out and that’s fine but it’s not all on him, as a professional footballer if your manager needs to teach you how to pass then maybe you shouldn’t be on the pitch. I mean, these players complain about running too much, they don’t even want to run but they’re supposed to execute tactics?? Cmon men.

​​@@mundolioknows6447yeah sure, can you mention what part are we supposed to re watch to get what you inferred? The OP is talking about Ole's interview, a far better thing to form opinion from, instead of Ducker's.

@mundolioknows6447 Your opinion, thats cool.

@@billbaggiotmua372LVG had done more with FAR less. He had a style of play, bopping Liverpool off the park at Anfield. The club structure may be bad but stop using it as an excuse to back a terrible manager whose created his own problems after being more backed than any previous United manager post Fergie. These are facts, not opinions, deal with reality.

Exactly this. Changing the Manager for the sake of it (when so many other issues need sorting first) won't solve the problem.

I agree. But the question is: "who will decide"? Sir Jim, Sir Brailsford, Berrada and Ashworth ( in charge after 1 of July)...,...,?

If i was ten hag i would want out of this 💩 show that is united board and front office they are literally making the worst decisions in the world not just the league the world…

A United supporter with some sense

Lvg told ten haag about utd but he still came. His fault

Agree. It sends a worrying message to the players as well that they aren’t accountable for poor individual performances.

No Hag deserves this. Look at the abysmal performance, GD, etc. He is a Must go.

im so glad someone else picked this up hahahaha

Ducker paused for fart

This is a great point I think a lot of ten hag outers are choosing to ignore, if they complain about running then there is no hope for these guys.

Ultimately the only way to change it is back him through the players trying to get him the sack

Exactly what I felt.

People quickly forgot how many players improved LAST season under Ten Hag. Then this season a lot of key injuries and the wheels fell off. Why is that? Ten Hag's the same manager he was last season and these are the same bunch of players that got Ole and Jose and Ralf sacked.

He was called naive the other day by Ten hag and seems to have taken it to heart.

It seems INEOS might be paying these journalists to represent them. The way they promote them doesn’t seem natural, they haven’t done anything yet to earn respect.

Good lad

I'd take him over Tuchel

@Mizrob10 At least Tuchel won the Champions League with Chelsea. How did Potter perform 🎭 😳

Couldn't cope at Chelsea would get eaten alive here

@@garethdeere4822 English media do what they do best, overhype their own.

If you like journalists that don’t provide context, sure, it’s amazing.

I'd rather see ten Hag force his implementation now, and expose players that are not good enough for it. It will look disjointed, but better do it now and show owners the major job they need to change the squad irrespective of whether ten Hag stays or not.

Ten Hag forcing his system now is what will get him sacked. We know the team is majorly injured. He should be flexible enough to adapt the team to accommodate Evans and Maguire instead of playing a disjointed team that leaves massive holes in the Middle. He can coach the team to defend as a unit and attack as a unit (compact), not disjointed where 6 players are attacking, leaving the remaining 3 defenders behind with a massive hole in the midfield. That's just stupid 😅

@@ots5891 if that’s the case we’re going back to counter attacking which everyone was grumbling at. For me he should’ve Instilled his philosophy year 1 and got rid of those who cannot do it and go from there at least this year we’d be more competent in how we play

@@ots5891 depends on what the ownership has set as the expectation, if they are looking for a more long term aim, seeing how many players they need to move on might be the priority, because if one is realistic, top 4 would require pragmatic adjustments, but still less likely. It would not really add much value to have such a short term Target as your main reason to sack manager when you need to focus on so many things to fix in the club before adding more chaos by sacking manager.

Exactly what I was thinking.

It doesn't fit the sack ETH narrative. It infact it shows what happens with a good structure in place!

Well tbf it's not like they can ignore it. His job isn't secure at all unless INEOS have told him unequivocally he's the man for next season.

Brighton have won 5 of their last 21 League games, he's the most overrated manager in English football since Pochettino when he was at Spurs.

The one positive about him is he will get his players to play his style of football so I’ll give him that, the reason I don’t think that’ll work at utd is because it’s known that his training is intense and relentless and i dont know how that’ll sit with a group of players that complain about running.

Well said, we win the ball high up but they just can’t seem to make the right decisions to score a goal.

Because they almost not used to do it? Remember the people who were here before ten Hag? From that to making runs high up not as a counter attacks open field might take time, even change of players who are not building those movements. Still too many players in the squad who have not done those movements in their career before.

Someone like rashford had now played under 4 managers before he is 26. How many times has he had to rip up every movement he has learned to play a new style? These players gonna hit a point where they csnt adapt anymore. The club wont sell them, and managers keep getting sacked. The only sensible course of action is giving time. The team needs to be allowed to go thru thus slump, and face consequences collectively. They need to face the resistance of change and come out of it. It takes time. In any other walk of life, people expect and know this. Why when it come to football, it has to be instant success?

Perhaps a moderate wind in Manchester should be renamed a ‘Martial’?

Shaws injury record is worse than Martials. “Been unlucky since”, the agenda is so apparent. One player is unlucky with injuries but the other player just gets injured too easily yet has a better injury record. Think for yourself.

yet Ducker says it how it is , he knows ETH is full of it

@@RandomVideosFirstagreed I don’t get how people can’t see how awful we are regardless of injuries… I think people are more enamored with the idea of Ten Hag rather than Ten Hag himself

Ducker is an absolute farce. Just wants to create drama when the answer is obvious, the players, people are in denial because the solution but cumbersome and time taking, ten Hag is an easy short term scapegoat.

Ducker is ‘best in the business’ even though in this EXACT interview he said, “Only 7 or so players should be at the club” and then later say, “This squad should comfortably finish in the top 4”. Which is it? As clueless as a blind fish out of water.

And his away record leaves a lot to be desired too, 4-0 defeats away at Roma & Luton, losing 3-0 away at Fulham & 6-1 at Villa. Plus he's only won 5 of his last 21 League games, he really isn't all that.

And for the argument he should have got a second striker: There was no money for a second striker. Ten hag wanted to sell martial, maguire etc, but nobody wanted to buy them because of their wages

Really? Interesting? Some guy speculating? Regurgitating bits of regurgitated articles he’s already regurgitated to death? No verifiable quotes?
