Erik Ten Hag definitely is not a good coach at all, he hasn't been one for a long time and he still keeps his job for some reason. Just because he managed to win the FA cup he managed to keep his position, and that last game, the final against City was a great game, probably the best game they played all year, it's a shock to the whole world that they managed to do it, nobody expected them to do something like that.
I think it's clear that we are talking about something much worse here, and I believe that they just got lucky, they almost lost to championship team before that game. In the end, Erik Ten Hag is a terrible manager and he should have been fired already but he hasn't been and lets see how he will do this season with the team he built.
He might be a good one but who knows what is going to happen because I go think for the board director to make him stays all this while, there might be something incredible about him that we are probably not seeing right now and it might also be that he has a contract that isn't talk about. Perhaps he is a good coach in other place but Manchester united is too big for him to coordinate and he doesn't want to step down, we have people like that which are very stubborn.
I know one thing about Erik Ten, he either finish in the top 4 and win the Europa conference League or get sack by the end of this season. There were news about him going to leave only for him to just and relax and see him again doing transfer movements of players again. For my mental health, they have spoilt my ticket multiple times, don't include them in your games or better still give them loss when they have match with big team like Manchester City or Arsenal.
I think Man United management is still interested in some of the ideas offered by Ten Hag, outside of the contract agreement that may not be published. One of them is related to the club long term plan, which prioritizes young academy players, in addition to their transfer movements which prioritize recruiting young players. It is possible that Man United will have to pay a very large compensation if they fire Ten Hag in the middle of the season, what is clear is that the two trophies presented by Ten Hag can only be considered as entertainment.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe will not be happy with The Red Devils current performance, because Ten Hag has spent a large budget in the transfer window. True, the Europa League trophy and finishing in the top four of the Premier League standings can guarantee his tenure at Old Trafford to last longer. However, many people have already doubted the quality of the Dutch manager at this time, coupled with the condition of the players who are still injured, it is quite difficult for The Red Devils to rise. In the meantime, it is better not to bet on Man United matches for the time being, because "consistency" has become a rare item since last season until this season.
