A mocking statement made by David De Gea stated, “I will only come back to Manchester United if Erig ten Hag is sacked.” Misfortune for Eric Ten Hag in the midst of a prospective return for Manchester United.
After watching United suffer yet another crushing loss to Bournemouth on Saturday, Ten Hag is coming under more and more criticism at United. Marcos Senesi, Philip Billing, and Dominic Solanke scored for Andoni Iraola’s team, who were unfortunate not to win by a score of more than 3-0.
After Ten Hag won the November Manager of the Month title after three straight Premier League victories, United appeared to be improving. In midweek, he defeated Chelsea 2-1 with ease. However, the loss to the Cherries has swiftly soured the atmosphere, and Murphy has pushed club executives to take a stand.
Murphy stated in his Sunday Mail piece that Ten Hag is not the manager to take United to the top table of English football if they wish to eat there once more.
“With the players under Ten Hag, United just cannot compete with City, Liverpool, and Arsenal. A team that is improving after a strong debut season is not one that I see. One is regressing, and I don’t see how Ten Hag taking over will make that stop.
Naturally, Ten Hag isn’t solely to blame. There are plenty of issues at United that are above and beyond him. It’s necessary for some of the players to glance in the mirror.
