Manchester United FC coach Erik Ten Hag has ticked
all the boxes to get sacked for good reasons. His team lost at Old Trafford to
Manchester City this night by three goals to nil! Their fifth EPL loss this
season from ten matches!
Coming
from Ajax FC of Netherlands, with a somewhat good resume, everyone expected him
to take good advantage of his upgrade and give the club fans some very good
results. He’s never been short of quality players since he arrived and the
summer purchases were not abysmal, but the outcomes have been relatively
unsteady! The team took the third position last season and qualified for the
UEFA Champions League, possibly as a result of the stuttered performances of
other teams.
ERIK TEN HAG’S
MANAGEMENT DEBACLE
He
started by starting up a quarrel with club legend, Ronaldo de Lima, who had to
leave the club to avoid further embarrassment, stripped Henry Maguire, as club
captain, before casting his caustic gaze on David de Gea, one of the best
goalkeepers to have adorned the Manchester United FC jersey. His
disagreements with Jordan Sancho, leaves a question mark about his man-management style, but more worrisome, is the team; their
style of play, consistency, and series of bad results. Sports
pundit and former Arsenal FC player, Paul Merson, alluded to the Ten Hag’s
shambolic team style after
Manchester United’s loss to Crystal Palace on 30th September.
They
escaped defeat to Galatasaray FC on 3rd October, saved by Scott
McTominay’s very late goals against Sheffield United FC and Andre Onana’s last-minute penalty save against Copenhagen FC, in the UEFA Champions League now
getting walloped by EPL Champions, Manchester City FC. Onana’s save helped
reignite hope in their qualification phase of the Champions League. Before his
penalty, save, Andre Onana, was close to becoming the star boy for their
losses, but
like the writer had earlier predicted, he got a respite
after the two-week international break.
SAVE MANCHESTER
UNITED FC,
What
is evident about Manchester United FC is that the club needs to be rescued from
the clueless rigmarole of Erik Ten Hag; otherwise, the new investors would find
the team in the English Championship League by July 2024. Injuries to some
senior players cannot be an excuse for their lack luster and insipid
performances, since all clubs endure such issues, and having a large squad like
what Manchester United FC has, compensates for this. The players have not lost
form, but suffering silently…
Not much has been
revealed outside the Manchester United FC dressing room for obvious reasons, but
more revelations would emerge about several disconcerting events that have so
far rendered the team comatose. The quality of the team squad remains at
variance with their on-the-field results and unless drastic action is taken,
the outcome wouldn’t be favorable to the current vision espoused by the club
owners.
Erik Ten Hag
remains the major culprit of the downslide of Manchester United FC and as a
mark of honor, should be told to resign to enable the team to recover from their
bad start. The longer he remains helm, the further down
the ladder the team would go!
