Recently, the former darling of Sir Alex Ferguson has surprisingly demanded that Man United fire Coach Ten Hag for a special reason related to Rasmus Hojlund.
Despite spending a significant amount of money (£200M) in the summer transfer window, it appears that Man United has not yet acquired the players they truly desire. The Red Devils have once again had a slow start compared to other Premier League teams, accumulating only 6 points (2 wins, 2 losses) after 4 rounds and currently sitting in 11th place in the standings.
Coach Ten Hag is making Man United fans angry because of confusing personnel decisions
This has led to rumors that the Glazers may consider sacking Coach Ten Hag if Manchester United fails to finish in the top 4 at the end of the season. There are indeed several reasons for fans to criticize the manager, especially when he has spent nearly £400M in recent transfer windows, yet the team’s playing style remains inefficient.
Coach Ten Hag had previously stated that he would bring a ball-control philosophy to Old Trafford, but what Man United has shown is a stagnant style when facing teams that defend deeply. In big matches, Manchester United still often finds itself as the underdog, playing defensively and waiting for opportunities after the opponent’s mistakes.
Furthermore, Coach Ten Hag has been criticized for frequently making questionable personnel decisions. For instance, the case of Antony, a forward who was recently transferred to Manchester United for £100M but has not justified his transfer fee. Nevertheless, Coach Ten Hag continues to trust Antony with a starting spot regardless of his form. It is this excessive favoritism towards Antony that has led to disagreements between him and Sancho.
Recently, former Man United legend Paul Parker also expressed his dissatisfaction with the Dutch manager, stating: “I find it very hard to understand the way Coach Ten Hag gives opportunities to certain players. Anthony Martial clearly deserves to be a substitute for players with greater determination like Hojlund. Martial’s performance at Arsenal in the past was truly disastrous. Fans are undoubtedly getting tired of seeing a forward who constantly loses the ball, lacks aggression, and displays a poor attitude, often sulking and complaining on the field.”
Sancho feels unfair that Antony is always favored by coach Ten Hag
“I’ve had the opportunity to interview some Manchester United supporters, and many of them have even stated that they would fire Ten Hag immediately if they had the authority to do so. Rasmus Hojlund is a talented player, and if he doesn’t start in the upcoming match against Brighton, I also support the idea of him (Ten Hag) being sacked to make way for a new manager. This is a legitimate reason for the fans.”
