Manchester United finds itself in a state of growing unrest as the Eric Ten Hag era unfolds at Old Trafford. While the Dutch manager’s arrival brought hopes of revitalizing the club, recent developments suggest the situation is far from ideal.
Ten Hag, known for his fighting spirit, has expressed confidence in his players, particularly Antony, saying, “I’m a fighter and Antony is also a fighter; he has the confidence. He is brave, and I am confident he will bring the performance that he is the right player for us. The team is not playing well when we don’t bring him the balls, and I am also responsible for that.”
However, there is increasing doubt and discontent within the dressing room. Sources within the club have revealed that doubts are growing about Ten Hag’s management, and there is simmering resentment among certain players towards their teammates. Some players have also expressed dissatisfaction with the overall direction of the club as its strategic review enters its 12th month.
Jadon Sancho, who has been frozen out of the squad due to ongoing issues, remains a point of concern.
Comparisons have been drawn between Ten Hag’s tenure and that of Jose Mourinho, who was sacked after six losses in 17 games. Ten Hag, with eight losses in 15 games, faces a precarious future.
As the 2023 season unfolds, Manchester United seems to be stuck in a recurring cycle of underperformance, reminiscent of previous years. The unrest among players and fans is palpable.
Despite the mounting pressure, some fans are advocating for patience, arguing that sacking Ten Hag would only lead to further regression, forcing the club into another interim spell and potentially landing them in the same situation two years down the line.
On the injury front, Casemiro was confirmed to be out of the Newcastle game due to injury, and he is expected to miss the upcoming match against Fulham as well, as per Erik ten Hag.
Former Manchester United player and pundit Gary Neville has also weighed in on the situation, suggesting that Ten Hag’s future at the club is in jeopardy. He criticized the players for their lack of fight, passion, and effort in recent games, putting the blame on them rather than the manager.
Recent defeats, including a 0-3 loss to Newcastle and a similar result against Manchester City, have left fans wondering how long it will be before the team’s fortunes take a turn for the better or whether the club will ultimately decide to part ways with Eric Ten Hag. The pressure is mounting, and the future remains uncertain for Manchester United under his leadership.
