“I have decided to down as Man United’s head coach since they refused to sell that Player… I wish all Man United’s fans nothing but the best in future”: Erik ten Hag made a shocking announcement following Man United’s home lost to Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester United fans have furiously called for Erik ten Hag to be sacked after their disastrous start against Tottenham that saw them go 1-0 down inside three minutes before seeing Bruno Fernandes sent off.
The Red Devils put in a horror first half display against Ange Postecoglou’s side as Brennan Johnson tapped home from Mickey van de Ven’s cross in the opening stages of the game before Fernandes saw red for kicking out at James Maddison.
Spurs then made the perfect start to the second half as Dejan Kulusevski prodded home to compound the misery on United – with the away fans chanting “you’re getting sacked in the morning” – though some fans looked like they had enough of the Dutchman before the interval as they called for the axe.
One fan wrote: “We’re always getting bullied on the pitch. We need a dark arts coach. We need to start playing dirty too. Ten Hag OUT!”
Another fuming supporter said: “Gets the players he wants. No game plan. Makes easy games look so difficult. Good players look trash under him. Just press talks and blacklisting players. Get Erik Ten Hag out of Manchester United.”
“Ill disciplined, running around like headless chickens,” said another fan. “They don’t know where they are meant to be or their jobs, I’m afraid it’s time to go.”
One pointed out how there was little evidence the former Ajax boss could turn thing around at Old Trafford, adding: “When do we say enough is enough! @ManUtd? Because if you still believe this man can turn things around, the question is when and how?”
