Should Man United Sack Ten Hag?
We wouldn't like to be in Ten Hag's shoes right now. But honestly, he's brought most of this drama on himself.
7 months ago
Most of his transfer ambitions failed, he caused drama with Ronaldo and Sancho, and his stadium is falling apart with the Trafford waterfall. Ok - some of that isn't his fault, but a lot of it is. And the list could go on - we'd say that's only scratching the surface.
Even Wayne Rooney added to his problems recently, saying key players who are 'injured' are actually opting out of playing for him.
So, should Man United sack Ten Hag? Let's find out.
Where do we start? We already attempted to start in the introduction, but there's too much to discuss for a 500-word article - we need about 5,000.
Erik ten Hag's time at Manchester United has seen highs and lows. Some would say no highs. Although injuries (if they are injuries) have disrupted the squad's rhythm, causing inconsistent displays, it isn't just that. And his players simply aren’t performing - just look at Rashford’s recent run.
The Dutchman's adventurous style of play created tactical concerns because he often combined a high press with a low block, which made his defense vulnerable. The result? A record-breaking awful beginning to the season and a current 8th position in the league.
And they're about to break another record with their worst-ever Premier League finish. They have lost fourteen league matches, the highest number ever in a season. His management style simply isn't for Man United.
His transfers, too, have left much to be desired. Especially as a lot of these players have come at his request and are from Ajax. Antony underlines the disastrous recruitment they’ve done. The Brazilian winger has had a torrid time in Manchester. While he looked dynamic and threatening in the Eredivisie, he just doesn’t create the separation he used to with his defenders in a 1v1. And when he does, the final decision for the pass or shot isn’t up to standard. He’s an expensive problem. His lack of form has cost him a place in the Brazil squad for Copa America 2024 – along with club teammate Casemiro.
The Brazilian national team have better talent available than Antony. When the Seleção Canarinha take to the USA for this summer’s tournament, they’ll be among the favourites. Those back home will be turning to https://melhoresapostasesportivas.com.br/ knowing that the odds will likely be in their favor until they face Argentina. Beyond that, though, they’ll see Vinicius Junior with good odds to finish as a top goal scorer and the tournament’s best player, along side other wingers Rodrygo, and Endrick. Antony is far, far down the pecking order because of the talent ahead of him. Manchester United should take note, and, also, vastly improve their transfer policy, and not rely on Ten Hag’s past successes.
Rumors about Ten Hag's future have been flying around, with several potential replacements already mentioned.
One of them is Kieran McKenna, who is currently Ipswich Town boss. Having worked at Old Trafford as an assistant coach under José Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, and Ralf Rangnick makes him known well enough to belong there.
Still, would McKenna be good? McKenna was to be appointed, as suggested by some reports (as per reports), he has simple training sessions considered more appropriate for an academy than senior professionals. His training methods were seen as too basic by certain senior players during his previous stint at the club, while they struggled in form and morale too.
Other names are Gareth Southgate, Thomas Frank, Roberto De Zerbi, and Thomas Tuchel. Gareth Southgate could be the one - imagine Old Trafford singing the 'Southgate you're the one' World Cup anthem!
This is one of the significant drawbacks of changing managers - the player exodus.
Manchester United has a squad that's already underperforming, and such a change in management could unsettle them further. Several players might leave if Ten Hag were to be replaced, adding another layer of complexity to an already complex situation. But, if anything, we'd say several players might stay if Ten Hag leaves.
Stability is key for top signings considering a move, and having different coaches come in now and again may discourage them from joining Manchester United. Still, surely huge signings would be put off by the Ten Hag drama.
After the FA Cup final on May 25th, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team will make their decision regarding Ten Hag's future. The Dutchman's fate looks to be hanging precariously, with many insiders believing he has been a dead man walking since March (or since he joined). The FA Cup final against Manchester City could decide everything. This win could save his job - but let's face it, they won't win against City It is not so easy to decide on firing Erik ten Hag. The team had an unsatisfactory performance under him, with some tactical mistakes and a string of losses that broke the hearts of fans. There's a lot of politics involved that could keep him there.
Even Wayne Rooney added to his problems recently, saying key players who are 'injured' are actually opting out of playing for him.
