Sometimes you have to face challenges and sometimes it goes up, sometimes goes down, but I am sure we will make it a success like we did the last two seasons.” โ Erik ten Hag of Manchester United is once again complicating matters for himself with his latest remarks. Success like in the last two seasons?๐ฑ๐ This man can’t be serious ๐๐ If he had so much success in the previous seasons then why do we want him to leave so much ๐๐

Erik ten Hag faces increasing pressure as Manchester United approaches a crucial match against Brentford, which could determine the Dutch managerโs future at the club. Speculation is growing that another poor performance could end his time at Old Trafford, making this a pivotal moment for him.
During the recent international break, there was intense speculation about Ten Hagโs future. Many believed the Manchester United board would take the opportunity to make a decision on his fate. Despite several meetings in London evaluating his performance, the clubโs leadership opted to give him more time. However, this reprieve seems fragile, as itโs rumored that one more poor result could lead to his dismissal.
United’s current performance is worrying. The team is positioned 14th in the Premier League, having secured only two victories in their first seven games of the 2024/25 season. Their struggles extend beyond the league, as they have also failed to secure any wins in their Europa League campaign. The clubโs poor form has further frustrated an already disillusioned fanbase, many of whom are losing faith in Ten Hagโs leadership.
Despite the growing criticism, Ten Hag remained optimistic during his Friday press conference, expressing confidence in the team’s progress. “We face a tough challenge, but this is part of top-level football,” he stated. “Challenges come and go, but I believe we will succeed, just as we have in past seasons.”
Ten Hagโs optimism is rooted in what he describes as “promising patterns” and “positive statistics,” which he claims indicate underlying improvement. โI see encouraging signs beneath the surfaceโpatterns and data that show weโre heading in the right direction. However, our current position in the league is far from satisfactory,โ he admitted. While his comments were intended to inspire confidence, they have done little to quell fan unrest, as supporters increasingly demand immediate success.
Ten Hagโs communication style has also come under scrutiny. His focus on abstract concepts like “patterns” and “statistics” rather than directly confronting the team’s poor performances has frustrated both fans and the media. Although English is not his native language, his reluctance to address the team’s struggles more directly has added to the pressure he faces. Some believe that if he were more candid and focused on results in his public statements, much of the criticism could be eased. Ultimately, fans are looking for wins and trophies, not abstract improvements.
The dissatisfaction among supporters is clear. After years of underachievement, their patience is wearing thin. Initially, many believed Ten Hag could restore Manchester United to its former glory, but now he stands on the brink of losing the trust placed in him. As the Brentford match approaches, the central question remains: Can Erik ten Hag turn things around, or is this the end of his tenure at Ol
d Trafford?
