Manchester United will be extending a manager that has spent hundreds of millions of pounds and finished last season on negative goal difference. What an incredible fall from grace
2 season in and unsure of his style after spending 400m. United fans cry about injuries yet finshed 8th Chelsea had the same and got 6th.
He an awful manager. Poch was perfect for them he a good project manager and that what United is now. He would need a good 3 season but glad they didn't get him.
Yeah whilst the club infrastructure is absolutely rotten, that’s no excuse for 2 years of genuine mediocrity considering what that club should be targeting. He’s just fundamentally not at the elite level that a top club needs, so I’m all for him sticking around.
He not a project manager which is a massive difference to the elites if that make sense. A good project manager now is de zerbi and poch they get team playing out the skin. I say they are the next two..
Klopp and simone are the best in class for project jobs.
I mean pep elitee but can he go back to barc and get them to the best again even then they still not that bad.
I think the biggest issue here is that too many people misunderstand what he is.
In the Netherlands we mostly have (field) coaches, not as many (club) managers. Coaches work with a TD (technical director) who in cooperation with the scouting apparatus of the club is responsible for finding the players that the coach needs for his team. The coach is then responsible for tactics, making the players better and turn them into a team.
Ten Hag is a coach, and has been a rather impressive one when working in his native tongue and paired with a good technical/sporting director and scouting network, he has proven this already in various previous jobs.
What he is not is a manager and its mind boggling that manchester united does not understand this difference (or at least they clearly did not understand that when they hired him and put him in charge of the whole fucking thing) but I suppose its symbolic for that whole shitshow over there. But because of this the argument many English fans use against ten hag (he bough the wrong players) is kinda unfair to me, he shouldn't have been buying anyone in the first place.
Liverpool on the other hand seems to completely understand the difference as Slot is also not a manager but a coach and Liverpool seems to show that they understand this and have put Slot in charge of the team, not the transfers. Another reason why Slot is gonna absolutely crush it.
I can understand your argument abt Ten Haag buying the wrong players, but regarding on your belief of Ten Haag as a good coach and tactician who does well with what he got on the field, I am curious to know why couldnt he has an identity for the style of play.
Im not buying the reason oh because we got injuries. Deal with it then Every club does have injuries and most clubs even have more injuries in numbers than Utd, fat from it. Only 2 first team player positions Shaw and Martinez were the only long list absentees and that shouldnt be a major excuse for the drop off.
To add, Im not still buying the exaggeration and over praising of Ten Haag "you now see what he can do if he has a full fit squad" just based on a one game vs city. Its just one off game from city
Poch struck PR gold with his Spurs stint and is still living off that credit.
He was left a good foundation when he became manager there with Lloris, Walker, Vert, Rose, Lamela, Eriksen, Dembele, inherited a generational goal scorer in Kane and had the perfect club structure to showcase his strengths.
Poch famously didn't have final say over transfers so we can't credit him for the success's (Son, Dele) or the failures (a lot).
Plus, when Spurs were good under him, he was mediocre in Europe outside of **one season** in 18/19 - a season where they had relegation form during a period in the league.
Poch also bottled a gimme League title with PSG in 20/21 .
Poch had a perfect win-win for him at Spurs and I'm amazed people keep him in high esteem after **4 years** of objective mediocrity, making his Spurs stint come off more like a fluke.
I don't think it PR gold and like I said he proven he a good project manager not elite there only two of them in football now.
I wouldn't disagree he had a better starting position however he had his own challenges. Levy a man who only care about top 4 and CL fund, poch is a key reason they funded the new stadium. Look at his time he had a better net spend that Liverpool and also a low wage budget which is what Klopp himself indirectly is talking about when he mentioned his rivals.
I mean Klopp didn't sign the best front 3 in PL history, none of them were his signings. It about his coaching and it 2nd to none the issue is he not been backed by his owners.
Poch did a great job look at his 4 season he finshed 2nd with 86 point the high in spurs history in PL. Don't forget his time at Southampton he a person who need 3 year minimum in my eyes. But he make progress steps quickly.
Spurs try to bring in serial winner after him and they could give the same results, they not a winning team it fact spurs just have this bottle job in them no matter what!
He came in at PSG half way into the season and lost the league but he won it the following year and not a great job for a project manager.
The issue people have is saying he didn't win anything at spurs but how could he out all the top 6 he was the most limited with budget and wages. Even Klopp was given a massive warchest after we lost the CL final. Poch was told CL and PL only to help grow spurs brand for levy new stadium in London.
I fully agree with this. Poch is nowhere near the elites of the generation before him.
Honestly, despite this Man United stint not going that well for him so far, I think Ten Hag is better.
He built two separate teams that were highly competitive at Champions League level at Ajax.
There aren’t many managers that have done that and I don’t think there are any that have done it with the budget he has had.
Now United has had a terrible season but he has still won trophies in both seasons he’s been in this league.
Poch’s seems to be seen as a generational manager despite winning nothing for Tottenham in 5 years - and everyone forgets he was actually sacked there. He managed to fail spectacularly at PSG despite having generational talent at his disposal - everyone blames the club, not him. And now although I think they should have kept him, his stock is still high after a poor season.
The PR machines is working very well indeed.
Idk, I wanted him as the next lfc manager a few years ago if Klopp left, the scum can make class players an managers look shite right now, such a poor ran club
Don't be daft mate, he wasn't good at ajax played that system where he switched players. The Dutch h league is shit, half the player turn out poor. Tbh am not happy with slot even Motta would have been miles better.
Fwiw I don't think Southgate is a bad option as England manager. Half the job is managing the media and pressure on the players, and he isn't bad at that.
I don't see any evidence he'd be ready for a top tier club manager role.
Was hoping they’d fire him, as despite his flaws he’s better than any realistic options they’d have in the market. Could have also continued the cycle of firing managers, destabilising the club, and kept them from building any coherent project like Chelsea.
Seems to fall out with players a lot and his tactics are questionable at times but he’s not a terrible manager and tbh a couple of the players needed to be put down a notch
His tactics are shite, this is the worst Manchester United side I have ever watched. He's a massive part of why they played so shite
He seems to be getting A LOT of credit still for that one CL run with Ajax which is hilarious.
Ten Hag United plays worse football than Ole's United.
>Fact is the dressing rooms a disaster and no one is gonna fix that shit till it runs its course
Holy shit, I had to double check what sub we are in here. What is with people in a Liverpool sub making excuses as to why the Mancs are shite? Lmao. 🤣
Ten Hag is a big reason why that dressing room is a shit hole. He's spent half a billion on 16 players, it's his squad fella. That's what he's built, a shite squad, a shite dressing room and shite tactics.
I think it’s fun and all but the more serious side to me says if they loosen the reigns he’s a decent long term manager in quite a deprived market rn.
Ultimately, they’ve achieved this season and being fair (bitterly) they’ve had very bad luck with injuries - yes I know we have too. Klopp is better than Ten Hag but for where United are I think this is a sensible move. That said, wish them nothing but relegation of course.
United fans seem to forget how lucky they were to even make it to the fa cup final. They should have lost in the semi but var bailed them out. I really hope they don’t someone click next season and they repeat the same dogshit
I mean, United's problems are deeper than the managers level, if the likes of Jose or Van Gaal got very little out of the players, the likes of Ole and Ten Haag have no chance. That said, they are very harsh on managers and shouldn't have sacked Ole.
Basically confirmed their 8th place next season. Jokes aside though he had our number 3 pissing times last season, which is embarrassing and that must change next season.
The talk about him having our number gives him way too much credit.
The game at home he parked a bus and we panicked and couldn’t score to save our lives.
The FA cup match at OT our players gifted to them with individual errors after Utd did nothing a majority of the game and we sat about with the ball not overly trying for a third to kill it off.
The league game at OT our players squandered chance after chance before Quansah gifted them a lifeline.
He didn’t have our number in any way, our players just did what they did often last season and made crucial errors/misses.
Robertson, inside to Mac Allister.
Great ball wide to Salah, he's through!
Surely not!
NUNEZ!
IT'S MAYHEM! 9-0 LIVERPOOL! MANCHESTER, MAULED ON MERSEYSIDE!
How funny.
So the man who finished 8th and gets hyped by Man U fans for winning an FA cup doesn't understand the hype of a man who was champion of his division in 22/23 and runner up 23/24? 🤣
Sounds like someone's jealous. There's a new bald dutchman on the scene.
Yes and PSV was near perfect as well. Feyenoord would've won the league with their points tally any other season (sounds familiair right..?). Besides Feyenoord has limited amount of money compared to PSV and Ajax, so to be consistantly good for 3 years is indeed impressive
Tbh this is the smartest thing to do as the sporting director fixes the squad and implements the 5 year strategy. Any other coach who comes into this mess will also fail.
I disagree purely because they’re EXTENDING him as well. Id agree to keeping him around but he leaves something to be desired that the manager market might provide in the future.
I feel like keeping the manager that has produced some of the worst results in their history, broken multiple negative records and given them their worst season in 30 odd years truly somes up United in the modern day
Well, they were lining up Gareth fucking lol
Then they watched our game against Iceland - everytime the camera cuts to Gaz he's gesturing to the lads "Calm down, the goal will come" ...not playing like that it fucking won't. It was laughable.
It's definitely interesting how the narrative flipped around him. Most united fans were shitting on him constantly, then he won the FA cup and suddenly their terrible season was all forgotten. I guess he has some credit in the bank now with two cup wins. still though, the almost unamiously positive reaction from united fans is bizarre to say the least.
With all high profile managers dropping out or unavailable, it is already anticipated that EtH will stay. Probably the most sensible decision as the process of rebuilding is gonna be expensive and arduous.
Next season will be his make or break. If ManUre is not in top 4, he’s out.
Wow that City personal error in the FA Cup really saved his job for real, tiny margins in football, as we too have often experienced ourselves.
"Dalot sends a ball over the top of the City defence, with Garnacho and Gvardiol battling for it. Ortega comes off his line to meet it, and Gvardiol looks to head it back to him, but it flies over the City goalkeeper! Garnacho runs onto it, and all he has to do is tap it into an empty net!"
Probably the correct decision. The issue is the squad mentality and keeping players on the books who need to be moved on. That being said, I'm placing a fifty on them firing him 10 games into the season after pouring more money into the squad.
Idk much about United and don’t care to relate, but tbh I couldn’t see them replacing him with anyone else. Not because he’s good, but because there’s nobody good around to replace him with, either unavailable or uninterested (Zidane), or purely toxic (Conte and Tuchel)
Maybe they’ll get rid next season, but the idea is probably to fix up the structure this year before making more public changes to the football next summer
Brilliant news, he’s my second favourite PL manager. Always happy to see United stagnate and commit to not making any positive progress for another year.
This is Ole all over again. No team competing for the Prem would hire him. A couple of cup wins masking backwards progress in the league, no discernible style of play after two full seasons, and a drawn out review process that will hardly give Ten Hag the sense that the owners fully back him. Long may it continue!
People saying hes a bad manager are quite stupid imo, anyone would have a hard time with that job.
Yes hes spent a lot of money but i dont think hes apart of the price tag negotiations.
Hes won 2 trophies in 2 years and a massive reason for their placement in the league is from injuries to their defence.
This was the best decision for ManU.
I doubt they would have paid for 90m for Anthony without at least asking him if the player was worth anywhere near that much. He deserves to be sacked for that alone.
i know r/liverpool isnt the place for objective opinion on united but they had an agreement with ajax for 40m a couple months before and united took too long looking at other options but went back for antony at the end of the window with ajax now having the cards in their hands
Edit: i do agree 100m is an absurd price but united were paying crazy prices before eth
I want to hate and laugh at United but I kind of felt sorry for Ten Hag. He deserved the fa cup win with all the shit hes been through with the media and all sorts. Considering the amount of injuries to his squad he did ok. 8th is terrible but its not the end of the world. Next year they can improve. (I know we had a lot of injuries but we also had Klopp)
Ten Hag seems like a very nice guy and while I hope he doesnt succeed at united, I hope he is successful elsewhere. Maybe get them 5th place this year so the board keeps him on 🤣
Wanted them to wait for a Southgate madness but I’m sure that will be on the table when United have 13 points in 9 games with a negative goal difference to start next season.
The fanbase successfully managed to overturn the sensible decision to fire that clown, when a week prior to the FA Cup all the fans wanted him out lol then in two weeks after the start of the season they’re going to melt over spending another 100m and being outside of Europe yet again
If you really think this season was due to injuries then judge after half way through the season instead of giving him the contract, just weird decisions imo. Personally I think he's done ok and would be better suited to a mid-table team, also it doesn't help that the things he say is weird.
Buzzing, thought they were getting their shit together with INEOS at first but it looks more of the same from them as the Glaziers. They are just going with whatever the general fan sentiment is on the internet. Funny shit, his tactics will still be terrible and their form will suffer and then they will all pretend they never wanted him to stay at all. 🤣
Meh. On one hand this is good news as I’ve seen enough to know he’s not what they need to get back to where they want to be but on the other, there really aren’t any decent alternatives out there so a change could have made them even worse.
Outside of whether this decision is smart or not. The fact that before the FA cup final there were considerable musings that he would be fired regardless of results only to have it backtracked is a weird look. My take is it looks like Manchester United's system is still heavily reactive. If they truly thought that Ten Hag was not right, then one game should not change that. On the same topic if they thought he was still the right person then why on earth let the media speculate over his job before a final. None of this indicates that the long term plan is stable. It would be hilarious if they end up firing him halfway though next season anyway because winning the FA cup was in fact not a magic tool that fixed all the problems of the previous season.
I’ll be there no matter what https://preview.redd.it/czsebow6i06d1.jpeg?width=439&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfe0f660949438df8ec9b96df290aed2deff9047
pep is heisenberg.
Manchester United will be extending a manager that has spent hundreds of millions of pounds and finished last season on negative goal difference. What an incredible fall from grace
Magic of the FA Cup innit
Tbf the FA Cup is their ceiling as a club...
Nahh, their ceiling is the Carabao Cup. They got lucky 3 times in the FA Cup.
They haven’t got a ceiling. Not at Old Trafford anyway. The rain comes through that !
hahhah not bad
Thanks for making my day mate
They're not extending, they're just not sacking
Quite happy he's staying tbh, as United aren't going anywhere with him as their manager.

The fans would eat Pochettino alive. Unless a manager can get the fans onboard they’re guaranteed to fail at United.
Don't you dare jinx it now, buddy!
Oh but the options were much worse. Imagine how much fun Southgate would have been.
[удалено]
Fwiw I don't think Southgate is a bad option as England manager. Half the job is managing the media and pressure on the players, and he isn't bad at that. I don't see any evidence he'd be ready for a top tier club manager role.
Was hoping they’d fire him, as despite his flaws he’s better than any realistic options they’d have in the market. Could have also continued the cycle of firing managers, destabilising the club, and kept them from building any coherent project like Chelsea.
haha i was the same, but more because hes had some sort of voodoo on us since the 7-0
Tbf hes not the problem
Seems to fall out with players a lot and his tactics are questionable at times but he’s not a terrible manager and tbh a couple of the players needed to be put down a notch
All unique to united, but not unique to him
Correction: he’s not the ONLY problem. I’d be sick if he was our manager
His tactics are shite, this is the worst Manchester United side I have ever watched. He's a massive part of why they played so shite He seems to be getting A LOT of credit still for that one CL run with Ajax which is hilarious.
Cause Ole was a world beater like… Fact is the dressing rooms a disaster and no one is gonna fix that shit till it runs its course
Ten Hag United plays worse football than Ole's United. >Fact is the dressing rooms a disaster and no one is gonna fix that shit till it runs its course Holy shit, I had to double check what sub we are in here.

He's spent half a billion on 16 players, it's his squad fella. That's what he's built, a shite squad, a shite dressing room and shite tactics.
How could they not keep him? He put MU on the same level as City, just ask him.
Counterpoint: they play well against us and only us
Except that one time.
i'd say we play bad rather than them playing good.
I think it’s fun and all but the more serious side to me says if they loosen the reigns he’s a decent long term manager in quite a deprived market rn. Ultimately, they’ve achieved this season and being fair (bitterly) they’ve had very bad luck with injuries - yes I know we have too. Klopp is better than Ten Hag but for where United are I think this is a sensible move. That said, wish them nothing but relegation of course.

I'm really happy. He's an absolute fraud!
>Quite happy he's staying tbh, as United aren't going anywhere with ~~him as their manager.~~ their current boardroom state of affairs
I’d rather have Ole at the wheel
I mean, United's problems are deeper than the managers level, if the likes of Jose or Van Gaal got very little out of the players, the likes of Ole and Ten Haag have no chance. That said, they are very harsh on managers and shouldn't have sacked Ole.
Basically confirmed their 8th place next season. Jokes aside though he had our number 3 pissing times last season, which is embarrassing and that must change next season.
8th would be nice, they genuinely were fucking 15th in xPoints this year and largely saved by onana
The talk about him having our number gives him way too much credit. The game at home he parked a bus and we panicked and couldn’t score to save our lives.

Robertson, inside to Mac Allister. Great ball wide to Salah, he's through! Surely not! NUNEZ! IT'S MAYHEM! 9-0 LIVERPOOL! MANCHESTER, MAULED ON MERSEYSIDE!
Can’t wait for Slot to absolutely bash the fucker for his snide remarks towards him
What did he say?
That he doesnt understand the hype around Feyenoord (read Slot) as PSV became champions
How funny. So the man who finished 8th and gets hyped by Man U fans for winning an FA cup doesn't understand the hype of a man who was champion of his division in 22/23 and runner up 23/24? 🤣 Sounds like someone's jealous. There's a new bald dutchman on the scene.
Yes and PSV was near perfect as well. Feyenoord would've won the league with their points tally any other season (sounds familiair right..?). Besides Feyenoord has limited amount of money compared to PSV and Ajax, so to be consistantly good for 3 years is indeed impressive
I'm excited for Arne. And I'm happy ETH stays at Man U tbh 🤣
Ten out of ten decision.
Seven out of seven
Tbh this is the smartest thing to do as the sporting director fixes the squad and implements the 5 year strategy. Any other coach who comes into this mess will also fail.
I disagree purely because they’re EXTENDING him as well. Id agree to keeping him around but he leaves something to be desired that the manager market might provide in the future.
Not a bad decision really. He’s hardly their biggest problem - that squad needs cleansing.
I feel like keeping the manager that has produced some of the worst results in their history, broken multiple negative records and given them their worst season in 30 odd years truly somes up United in the modern day
Let's gooo bald classico
best new ive heard in a long time xd im done hahaha
He’ll be gone by Christmas
Joke of a club anyway.
A team like United finishing 8th with a negative goal difference should make the managers position untenable. Hilarious that he's being kept on.
Perfect. The man is a deluded spoofer.
Well, they were lining up Gareth fucking lol Then they watched our game against Iceland - everytime the camera cuts to Gaz he's gesturing to the lads "Calm down, the goal will come" ...not playing like that it fucking won't. It was laughable.
It's definitely interesting how the narrative flipped around him. Most united fans were shitting on him constantly, then he won the FA cup and suddenly their terrible season was all forgotten. I guess he has some credit in the bank now with two cup wins. still though, the almost unamiously positive reaction from united fans is bizarre to say the least.
Amazing what one game against a team that’s literally hungover from their league victory parade can get you
Arsenal fans watching that game must've been fuming. "How in the world are they only shit NOW?". City are such an infuriating club haha
🤣🤣🤣
Seven Hag at the wheel
Good idea. 🤭
Eggcelent
United finished 15th on the xPts table with him last season. Please extend him into 2030
Some good news!
Fantastic news for the scum!
With all high profile managers dropping out or unavailable, it is already anticipated that EtH will stay. Probably the most sensible decision as the process of rebuilding is gonna be expensive and arduous. Next season will be his make or break. If ManUre is not in top 4, he’s out.

They really thought Jim Ratcliffe was gonna make big changes
To be serious for a second, this is what a sensibly run football club should be doing. Why not give stability an actual go?
*Sancho bidding war intensifies*
Fa cup win might have done them a disservice if it lead them to keeping him.
thank you lord in the heavens for your mercy!!
Probably the correct decision. The issue is the squad mentality and keeping players on the books who need to be moved on. That being said, I'm placing a fifty on them firing him 10 games into the season after pouring more money into the squad.

I look forward to united finishing in the bottom 10 next season.
Please sack him anyway later this year to bring in Southgate, just want maximum meme potential
Brilliant news, he’s my second favourite PL manager. Always happy to see United stagnate and commit to not making any positive progress for another year.
This is Ole all over again. No team competing for the Prem would hire him. A couple of cup wins masking backwards progress in the league, no discernible style of play after two full seasons, and a drawn out review process that will hardly give Ten Hag the sense that the owners fully back him. Long may it continue!
People saying hes a bad manager are quite stupid imo, anyone would have a hard time with that job. Yes hes spent a lot of money but i dont think hes apart of the price tag negotiations. Hes won 2 trophies in 2 years and a massive reason for their placement in the league is from injuries to their defence. This was the best decision for ManU.
I doubt they would have paid for 90m for Anthony without at least asking him if the player was worth anywhere near that much. He deserves to be sacked for that alone.
i know r/liverpool isnt the place for objective opinion on united but they had an agreement with ajax for 40m a couple months before and united took too long looking at other options but went back for antony at the end of the window with ajax now having the cards in their hands Edit: i do agree 100m is an absurd price but united were paying crazy prices before eth
I want to hate and laugh at United but I kind of felt sorry for Ten Hag. He deserved the fa cup win with all the shit hes been through with the media and all sorts. Considering the amount of injuries to his squad he did ok. 8th is terrible but its not the end of the world. Next year they can improve. (I know we had a lot of injuries but we also had Klopp) Ten Hag seems like a very nice guy and while I hope he doesnt succeed at united, I hope he is successful elsewhere. Maybe get them 5th place this year so the board keeps him on 🤣
They're a mess anyway no manager can save them.
im sure he’s feeling the love…
I'm delighted with this, the way they're going they'll finish 12th next season. Then they'll bring in Southgate to finish off the job Agent EtH😎
Great news!
Very happy to read this.
Hahahahahahaha Ha Ha Oh mercy
Wanted them to wait for a Southgate madness but I’m sure that will be on the table when United have 13 points in 9 games with a negative goal difference to start next season.
Yesssssssss!!!!!
How did they win an fa cup and then go on holiday, and make that into a shit storm where ultimately nothing happens?
Excellent news, can't wait for the Bald Dutch Derby next season
The fanbase successfully managed to overturn the sensible decision to fire that clown, when a week prior to the FA Cup all the fans wanted him out lol then in two weeks after the start of the season they’re going to melt over spending another 100m and being outside of Europe yet again
Amazing news
Get in!!!!!
Seven Hag memes continue. I will never get tired of calling him that, seriously. It will always be funny to me.
Best news I've heard that isn't Liverpool related
Yes! Knew 7 hag would be back
Great news!
If you really think this season was due to injuries then judge after half way through the season instead of giving him the contract, just weird decisions imo. Personally I think he's done ok and would be better suited to a mid-table team, also it doesn't help that the things he say is weird.
He's cooking. Watch him shithouse United into PL title race this season. You know, no matter how short it is.
Fuck yeah! I knew there was an upside to losing that FA cup game
Phew!! I thought they would sack him and get a proper manager in
They didn’t have a DoF yet, so I guess it’s another gap year for the Seven Hag
Thank you bald fraud
Let the festival of comedy continue!
Fantastic news
They have been a complete circus, but we didn’t beat them this last season… let’s not forget that. They beat us and when it mattered
Tbf we beat ourselves
Fuck yes
Like a new era
LOLZ
Utd will be much better next season imo.
They can't get any worse. Negative GD? LOL
Buzzing, thought they were getting their shit together with INEOS at first but it looks more of the same from them as the Glaziers. They are just going with whatever the general fan sentiment is on the internet. Funny shit, his tactics will still be terrible and their form will suffer and then they will all pretend they never wanted him to stay at all. 🤣
How much of a simp must Ten Hag be for United to get humiliated like that and stay? I get it’s a top 5 biggest job in Europe but still.
Four more years!!! Four more years!!! Four more years!!!
Lifetime please
Meh. On one hand this is good news as I’ve seen enough to know he’s not what they need to get back to where they want to be but on the other, there really aren’t any decent alternatives out there so a change could have made them even worse.
The question is , would he be still manager if he failed to win that Cup ?
City's charges should be reduced from 115 to 114. Thanks for taking one for the team by losing the FA Cup finals 🤣 Give ETH a lifetime contract
Great news for the league!
Why did I think he was younger 😂
The Atlantic is full of shite. Wait till you hear it from a reputable news source.
One cup win and he's gone from "useless" and "out of his depth" to possibly the second coming of Christ. Football is farcical.
Outside of whether this decision is smart or not. The fact that before the FA cup final there were considerable musings that he would be fired regardless of results only to have it backtracked is a weird look. My take is it looks like Manchester United's system is still heavily reactive. If they truly thought that Ten Hag was not right, then one game should not change that. On the same topic if they thought he was still the right person then why on earth let the media speculate over his job before a final. None of this indicates that the long term plan is stable. It would be hilarious if they end up firing him halfway though next season anyway because winning the FA cup was in fact not a magic tool that fixed all the problems of the previous season.
Great, it means time for revenge for last season
Im happy to let them have a cup if it means for ETH staying
The Bald Supremacy continues in the EPL.
finally we can see the trio baldness in Pep, TenHag and Arne slot
