The way some manager talk in the press conference is a bit disappointing, as a manager to make a name for yourself you need to change the mentality of the club you're handling and always stay positive, winning trophies is also the number 1 task you need to accomplish but Manchester United coach says things the way he feels without mind if his reputation is at stake. How can he say the team doesn't have what it takes to win trophies? Like he doesn't even have confidence in the squad he is managing even if they are not good enough to deliver but you are there as the coach to help them from that suffering stage, to me it speaks low of him that he isn't capable of managing any club.
I agree with what
Cristiano Ronaldo said, it is too poor for the manager to have that weakness and even letting the public know they can't compete for any title, which means the game against Southampton is going to be a game they're going to lose. I now see why some Manchester United players perform very well when playing for their country but awfully while playing for UTD. ETH has lost it and to me he doesn't deserve the chance to continue with the club.
Yes, 'as Manchester United manager, you cannot say that you will not fight to win those titles. You have to believe that even if the team doesn't have potential. You need to have a fighting spirit and try your best.'
Remember this is Manchester United, a big team. Coach Ten Hag needs to build confidence in the players to be determined to compete no matter how difficult the situation is. Instead of showing a resigned attitude from the beginning, why didn't Coach Ten Hag say that we need to try our best? It would be better if Coach Ten Hag asked the whole team to try together, instead of talking about far-fetched things.
The away match against Southampton in the fourth round of the Premier League is of vital importance to Ten Hag. Another defeat could cause the Manchester United leadership to lose patience and decide to change the coach. In case Coach Ten Hag is fired, I hope Sir Jim Ratcliffe will bring Coach Zinedine Zidane to Old Trafford. Although I know that is far-fetched, Manchester United fans should dream, don't be helpless like Coach Ten Hag.
