It seems there is something that made the board think twice about deciding to fire Ten Hag, and maybe if they take that decision, it is feared that Man United will be even worse. Man United has already spent too much money on Ten Hag, and also so many of the players he brought to Old Trafford. So if there is a new coach who replaces Ten Hag, it is not certain that the person will be suitable with Ten Hag's legacy, especially since the season is already underway. If the new coach even wants his own team, then the board will have to dig deeper into their pockets.
The new coach is not obliged to work with the players that ten Hag brought to the team, look at how many changes have taken place at Chelsea in recent seasons, and this was provoked by changes in coaches. So of course, this will be a painful move with a change of coach and a possible change of many players, but if this is necessary to improve the team's results, then it is probably worth doing. It seems that ten Hag is a good person, and dismissal is always a difficult decision, but in this case, he only asks to give him more time, and there are no changes for the better.

I think the players are so sick of Ten Hag that they would do anything, even lose, to get him fired. Apparently Fernandez just lost his nerve, because the suspension was absolutely stupid, although after the match Ten Hag will probably say that the suspension broke the game, but I think no one takes his words seriously anymore.
Of course, other EPL teams are interested in Ten Hag coaching MU as long as possible, because as long as he is the head coach, Manchester United will probably not have much success.
Man United is currently likened to having fallen down the stairs anyway because the next 3 matches, namely against Aston Villa, Brentford, and West Ham without Bruno are an inevitable disaster. Aston Villa is in an on fire mode that has only lost once so far. Aston Villa's performance is very solid and when dealing with Man United it is like being given a birthday cake that will be eaten with gusto.  Tongue
What I expected was the opposite, so far there have been no rumours that Erik Ten Hag will be sacked. In fact most likely he still wants to be retained. Yes maybe until Man United occupy positions 18-20 in the standings, then Ten Hag will be replaced. See he talks more in front of the press than real evidence.

The saddest thing I read in the internet today is not that Manchester United lost Tottenham. It is not also about the red card and neither is it about Eric ten hang's inconsistency and poor performance. What saddened me most was to read where Eric Ten Hang said that he is not afraid or scared of being sacked because he and the management have reached an agreement that they most remain together. This shows that ETH is not scared or even remorseful of his poor performance. Even if he is convinced that he wouldn't be sacked, this is not the best time to make such a statement.


The man does care about how the players play, if they like they should play well or not he doesn't care, all he knows is that nothing positive can come out of these guys and he's just there at UTD for the money/his contract and the board members are the ones killing Manchester United if so. I feel the players  knows about this development and it annoys many of them that they even find it hard to put their best in any crucial game, I wonder how they'll play when it's time for the Manchester derby.
Erik ten Heg only has the selections to make and maybe talk to the players like every other manager does but to me he can't wait to leave Manchester United because his mind is not there to be frank with you, his body language says it all so he had to do whatever he feel like doing after all they can't sack him, but let's see if these things continue till the end of the season.

What a week for Manchester United. Drawing at home to Twente in the Europa League, and losing 3 nil to Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford is a humiliating result for a team like Manchester United. I’m surprised that all this is still not enough for Manchester United bosses to reach the conclusion to sack Erik Ten Hag. It seems winning an FA Cup is more important to them than winning the Premier League or at least performing like a top club that they are. Manchester United are going to finish mid table this season and the club does not have a problem with it.

Honestly, I personally didn't expect Manchester City to be held to a draw by Newcastle in this match. The reason is, from the start of the first half, Halland and his friends played quite impressively. It was proven that in the 35th minute, Gvardiol was able to score a goal against Newcastle. After this goal, I personally hoped that Manchester City would score again in the second half, but in reality Manchester City lost concentration and Newcastle managed to equalize in the 58th minute from the penalty spot. Even after the draw, I personally am still quite optimistic that Manchester City can definitely win this match. But unfortunately, until the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the match, the score was still tied. So Manchester City must accept this draw and maybe with this draw Manchester City's position at the top of the Premier League standings will be slightly threatened. The reason is that currently Liverpool, which is in 2nd place in the Premier League, is only 2 points different from Manchester City. So, if for example Liverpool can win the match against Wolves, then it is certain that Manchester City's position will be shifted by Liverpool. And my prediction is that Liverpool can definitely win easily against Wolves. Because it is clear that Liverpool's performance with Wolves is very different. So with this, it is certain that Manchester City will be shifted from the top position in the English league standings.

I agree, the draw between Manchester City and Newcastle certainly came as a surprise. Despite Manchester City's dominance in the first half, they were unable to maintain the pressure throughout the second half which allowed Newcastle to equalize. This result does pose potential concerns for Manchester City's position at the top of the Premier League.

Your point about Liverpool potentially shifting Manchester City's position by winning against Wolves is plausible. Currently, Liverpool's form is impressive and they seem to have the upper hand against the Wolves.
My prediction turned out to be correct, because Liverpool managed to win against Wolves with a score of 2-1 and now Liverpool has replaced Manchester City at the top of the Premier League standings. Manchester City's failure when facing Newcastle did have an impact on its position, because as we know the Premier League has a very tight competitive atmosphere. So a draw does have a big influence on the Premier League. Now Manchester City is in second place in the Premier League with 14 points. Maybe, for example, Manchester City does not perform optimally in the next match, it could be that Manchester City's position is shifted again. The reason is, currently Arsenal, who is ranked 3rd in the Premier League, has the same points as Manchester City, namely 14 points. So currently Manchester City and Arsenal only differ in terms of the number of goals. Therefore, Manchester City must be careful with Arsenal, because if Manchester City gets another draw like against Newcastle, it is certain that Manchester City's position will be shifted again.

And talking about the Liverpool VS Wolves match, in that match, Salah and his teammates played quite well. The reason is that in this match Liverpool played carefully and was well organized. So even though Liverpool didn't score many goals in this match, Liverpool could win the match well. And if Liverpool can maintain their good performance and consistently win in the English league, I think it is clear that Liverpool can become champions in the English league.

Bounermouth will fight against Southampton today and actually if we see based on the recent performance between these teams Bournemouth a bit better compared to Southampton this because their records is 1 win and 2 draw from 5 matches but for Southampton they are not in the good shape because Southampton is only able to collect 1 point from 5 latest matches and Southampton also still unable to gets the winning results in Premier league

Bournemouth starting lineup:
Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Unal

Southampton starting lineup:
Ramsdale; Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Taylor; Lallana, Downes; Dibling, Fernandes, Fraser; Archer


Actually if we see based on the meeting records between these teams i can see Southampton has good records from Bournemouth but after seeing their recent performance i highly doubt Southampton can able to extended their good record from Bournemouth today even my prediction is Bournemouth who possibly will be able to overcomes Southampton but the odds for Bournemouth win is not high @1.57

Manchester United can get all the whole players they want during the transfer window but that won't solve the problem, we can say that Manchester United has been amongst the most active team in Europe during the transfer window, making top signing on different positions but as the season has commenced we haven't seen that pay off.

The issue for Manchester United is the mentality not the money they have to spend. I must say that Ten Hag isn't the man Manchester United needs. The team goes into every season knowing they won't win the league, UCL and at their best they can only hope for the FA Cup. This isn't the mentality that kept Manchester United on top during sir Alex Ferguson era.
I agree with you that Ten Hag is not suitable as Manchester United coach. Moreover, in Ten Hag's third season at Manchester United, the quality of Manchester United game has continued to deteriorate even though Manchester United has spent a lot of money recruiting players that Ten Hag wants. It is time for Manchester United's management to find a replacement for Ten Hag so that Manchester United's performance can improve again and can become a respected club in the fight for the championship title in various competitions as it did during the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

I knew that Manchester City will feel so disappointed by their draw with Newcastle but it seems Arsenal also faced similar fate and this might be some form of consolation for Manchester City.  The greatest beneficiary of those draws is Liverpool that used that opportunity to climb to the top of the league. But I don't think that Liverpool will be able to maintain that lead for a long time because the team is not that formidable. The coming weeks will actually show how the league will go.
Similar fate you say, that must be when they played Brighton and it’s long behind. What’s left ahead is how much advantage you take from past results and Manchester City just equaled the platform for both of them rivals, Arsenal and City for the trophy. Perhaps that’s too early to say but, we all subconsciously know that, they are the favorites at the time.

Liverpool stands the beneficiaries from the lapses from both end but, it’s hard to imagine them actually holding up at their own end. They always mess things up for themselves eventually.

This defeat really puts United in a tough spot in the future, As if losing to Spurs wasn’t enough, now Mount and Mainoo are down too.  United’s luck needs a serious reset.
ETH continues to gaslight the fan base into believing he is a victim, with zero accountability or humility.
Three years, no style no system, All signings are frauds like the coach
The club's performance on the pitch is way below par, I'm afraid at some point, United will be fighting relegation, sad.
I also think the same for the Manchester United team who have been playing really badly with no strategy of their own in every important game. The 0-3 defeat at home to Tottenham was very sad and also very painful for Manchester United because apart from the bad impact that Fernandes received in the match, namely the red card in the first half, there were also other impacts that other key players have received as you mentioned. So this will really be a big disaster for Manchester United if they can't survive in the Premier League for another season.

Chelsea no doubt is actually turning to another thing because they have improved so much in terms of their gameplay although am still not entirely convinced but it would be a lie to look at their today's performance and not actually give them credit for playing beautiful football. As for cole palmer, I think guadiola will certainly be looking and asking why in the hell did he let him go cause the boy is virtually the heart and the driving force of this Chelsea squad.

It's incredible to see Chelsea back among the top four Premier League teams after spending the previous two seasons in the middle of the table. With four goals in the first half against Brighton, the same squad that beat Manchester United at home, it is clear that Chelsea has improved from the previous two seasons. Is it possible that Pochettino was the cause of Chelsea problems? This squad is different from the one Pochettino managed the previous season, despite Chelsea defeating Brighton both home and away the previous season, their performance is different this season, Chelsea is currently in the top four and has only lost one game.

If Chelsea continues in this pattern, they are likely to finish among the top four clubs. On the other hand, Guardiola will regret allowing Palmer to join Chelsea last season. I believe Guardiola wanted to keep Palmer for the future, and Palmer is unhappy to be benched without playing any games, and Palmer wants to join a squad where he can show his talents on the pitch.
There is no need to talk about who is to blame before because since the change of club leadership many things have changed with Chelsea, such as recruiting players where almost all new players are still very young. While this season has been extraordinary compared to the previous few seasons, Chelsea players are starting to look mature and able to adapt to the Premier League atmosphere. Enzo Maresca may be the key behind the revival of the team based at Stamford Bridge and he is really able to manage the young players very well. Palmer is the most phenomenal figure he has made a big contribution to The Blues so far.

As usual, Manchester United has expressed their confidence in Erik Ten Hag, the fans will just have to wait for the manager to get his “project” together before they can see progress with this team. Everyone except Manchester United board can see that Erik Ten Hag isn’t the right manager for the club. I don’t know what Manchester United’s board is trying to prove by retaining ETH. Their next game is against Aston Villa. I expect another thrashing of the Red Devils in Villa Park.

I believe Ten Hag said that to convince himself if he would not be sacked from Manchester United. It's to make sure he's not losing the trust from their fans as well.

Even if they sack him, they would be doing it without sending a notice to him. He can focus on the upcoming games against Porto and Villa. He must deliver in these two important matches. Most probably he stays much longer if his club take three points from their opponents soon.

Even if he is scared of being sacked and he can do nothing caused by its club's decision. No one is bigger than the of club itself.
Maybe he doesn't care whether he will be sacked or not, but it is an unpleasant moment when you are sacked for bad results. Maybe this is how he calms himself down, but it seems to me that he just needed to answer the endless questions from the press, who will ask such questions after every unsuccessful series of matches. But I think that no one will argue with the fact that ten Hag is not coping well with his duties and despite the fact that the season has just started, he can already be sacked and no one will argue with that.

That's one thing I hate about Ten Hang seriously, he talks too much on media. There are some things that you shouldn't be spit out on the media considering the circumstances. It's just unguarded statement from him as usual and it won't stop him from getting sacked if the management decide to do that. Agreement can be broken anytime in case he's not aware of that, he should ask Xavi of former Barcelona about how agreement can be terminate.

Unfortunately, the board is actually not considering sacking him from all indication and that's what Ten Hang is riding on. Perhaps, both party have no vision for the club anymore and no one cares about how they perform.  By the way, Ten Hang problem aside, the players too seem not interested playing for the team. Maybe, they are also tired of playing under a clueless couch without game plan.

Regarding the decision, ten Hag must be not telling the whole story, because these decisions were made for the team's progress, and the way he manages Manchester United only leads to worse results. I don't understand what's the point of waiting for something else when they were able to get only 7 points after 6 rounds and I don't see how Manchester United should get better. I saw that Solskjaer is not against returning as a coach, but it seems to me that he is not much better than ten Hag, they definitely need to change the coach, but it should not be another experiment, but the best in his field.
Man U continues to sink into the abyss and you expected someone like Erik ten Hag to take the full responsibility? They will always be looking for one excuse or another despite giving him almost everything needed, he might do well like before elsewhere but with the look of things, it's certainly not in Man U.

I've never been a fan of the way he treated C. Ronaldo and made some gullible people believe he was the problem of the club as if everything would be fine at his exit. Ronaldo is long gone but the problem lingers and Erik ten Hag's ego has not saved him yet. Neither do I believe the problem of Man U can be solved by the frequent changes in coach as you think. Had it been the club maintained one of the sacked coaches, the situation might not have been this, especially if they had kept Solskjaer.

I don't know how you guys view this but Ole Gunnar and his replacement were my preference, that guy loves Man U with passion and would have given his best and get it stabilised if allowed as a stable coach for a long time. I can't be happier if he comes back to the club since alternatives keep failing.

I wonder where and when such agreements were reached, and if it be true that there's anything of such them the board have failed at some point because there's almost no justifiably reason why they would want to stick to failure consistently, I taught it was supposed to be a business and as a business winning is what keeps them at the profiting edge so I wonder why they are loosing and potentially not having the profiting edge and still don't want to blow out the key reason to their disadvantage. Ten Hag has always boosted of how untouchable he is with Manchester United and I just wish he gets disappointed but sadly they keep fueling his pride, I just hope it doesn't get so bad they narrowly escape the red zone before they come to the realization of the inadequacy around Eric Ten Hag.

Who else thinks the English Premier League referees are on a power trip this season, handing out cards like it’s candy. You can barely watch a game and not see at least four yellow cards. Bruno Fernandes maintains his contact was not strong and the foul should not have been a red card. At first glance it looked like a red card to me, but after watching the replay you can see that Bruno Fernandes slipped. What’s interesting about the booking is that VAR didn’t dispute the decision. IMO the referee should have given a yellow card as it was the appropriate booking, the red was a harsh call.

Sacked or stay together, it is not decided by Ten Hag. He can say so to raise confidence and mentality of himself and try to save his job but decision will be made by Manchester United owner. Reactions of Manchester United fans can contribute to the club owner's decision on future of Ten Hag. If I am in his position, I will have only two options, saying like him or proactively announcing my departure as their coach. It is really hard to do the second option so Ten Hag will try his best to save the job but the issue is whether Ten Hag already shown his best and will no longer be able to do better?

It's a real complex thing from this point of view
Manchester United aren't playing well, but not for a month... they've been a mid-table team for years now. They should understand that there are many ways in which a team goes bad, but if they can't understand which it is it's all quite useless

for me the problem in this case is the coach
The problems are from many people, not only the coach, because they have tried with many coaches after Sir. Alex Ferguson and did not succeed. Ten Hag is one of their problems in last three seasons but if the club failed with many coaches, it has more problems with other positions and other people. It's like systematic and strategic failures in their clubs, from the owner, sports director, scout and medical team, coach team and of course head coach.

The club's performance on the pitch is way below par, I'm afraid at some point, United will be fighting relegation, sad.

The amount of money they spend to buy players does not benefit the team at all. Ten Hag only makes false promises without being able to fulfill them. He feels capable of making Man United rise, but in fact, the more time he spends with MU, there has been no good improvement. The club must immediately fire him to improve the situation. The season is still long and MU is still like that.
