Erik ten Hag - bald fraud?

They’re a shambles but it would be funny if they sacked him, having also spent quite a lot of money on quite a lot of ex-Ajax players.

Is it four? Antony, Lisandro Martinez, that dodgy keeper Onana and Amrybat?

It’s a difficult situation for any manager to come in a develop a new culture within the club which is what Den Haag has been assigned to do. You can see that the players have been given ultimatums on their role so players like Sancho and a few others have thrown their dummies out.

Personally I think they have to keep hold of Den Haag and see this season through. Perhaps they can see some light at the end of the tunnel when they get a few players back from injury and maybe Den Haag finds a way to integrate Mount into the side.

There’s perhaps a few players who need to be little less vocal with the press and just get back to playing and training. Ultimately sacking another manager so early into the campaign would be reckless.

Have to say I agree with you. They've been very poor on the pitch this season, but they're in a much better place than with any other manager who's come in since Fergie.

I think Ten Hag has made some big calls - dropping Maguire like a bad smell, shipping out Ronaldo, sending Sancho away on a break then cutting ties with him - and all of them will do the club good in the long term. I look at that squad and see a few players - Martinez, Fernandes, Casemiro, Varane, Garnacho - with a big club mentality who look hungry enough to get them back up there. I thought Hojlund would be a disaster but he's looked good so far too.

The discipline is exactly what they need after having the likes of Pogba, Ronaldo and Sancho in the dressing room. In the end results are what matter and might do for him, but the culture has been an absolute mess there for years. They need someone to do a Klopp-like full rebuild. They're so decadent and so badly run but still interesting to discuss because they're the biggest club in the country.
 
Half of the underperforming players are his own signings. A lot of his decisions have also been poor. Though sorting out bad attitudes and ill discipline can’t of been easy.

Antony he insisted on signing hes not worth a quarter of what they paid.

Mount, has been cr6p for a couple of seasons.l not worth what they paid for him

O’Nana is great with the ball but his positioning is dreadful and unless a shot goes straight at him he doesn’t save anything.

Malacia is fast but crap



He should of let Maguire leave in January on loan, he would of had a far better chance of selling him in the summer if he had.

For most of last season Dalot was playing ahead of Wan Bissaka despit being far worse.

Lindelof gets far too much game time, how can you play a centreback that doesn’t make a challenge he just backs off constantly. I honestly don’t think he’d get a game for any other premier league team. Should have been sold and replaced.

Plus the full back who is currently injured.

Man United are a total shambles. Ten Hag will not last the season.

It’s his team now so without doubt his fault. Man United have brought in players he wanted and none have been a success, other than perhaps Martinez.

Yea I see your point, I just mean that Man Utd is a complete mess at the moment - something rotten at the core there, and is going to be hard to turn it around whoever is in charge and whoever the players are

6th in table, 3 points off the top, just drew 2-2 at Marseille in the Europa League. They play some of the best football on the Continent.

I’d take the odd 4, 5, 6-1 hammering every now and then if it meant we had the above.

It wasn't 2-2 when I posted that.

I was specifically talking about the match last night, haha.
 
No......no i do belive he is genuinely bald.....I haven't seen signs if a skull cap pulled over a thick thatch of black hair...
He is properly bald.
 
Just realised he was saved by the substitute in injury time, McTominay. Hmm didn’t he spend all summer trying to get red of him.
 
Fab Romano came out with this. So odd for a Man Utd team to replicate another team, especially Arsenal.

🚨🚫 In mid-September, Ten Hag took Jadon Sancho through videos of training to explain why he felt the player’s output had been insufficient…

…Sancho had been asked to replicate Arsenal's style against the chosen Man Utd XI ahead of the game, but he already knew that he was not going to be selected for the fixture.

In Ten Hag’s eyes, Sancho failed to commit to the drill as expected.

The pair had words, reveals The Athletic.
 
Casual bump of the funniest thread title as it’s relevant again.

Can’t see him making it beyond this season. Still expect them to go on and win this game but they’re a shadow of the club they once were.
 
Man Utd need another rebuild.
There have been times in this half that Bournemouth have been taking the pee.
Man Utd don't look like a team at all.
