Ten Hag is lucky because he was given the opportunity to build the Man United squad again this season. In fact, if we look at Man United's development last season, there is actually no reason for the club to retain a coach like Erik Ten Hag. Even though I know that last season Man United got worse because many players were injured one after another. But even before there were many injuries, we saw that Man United was inconsistent. Becoming champion in the FA Cup has indeed made Ten Hag trusted to coach this team again for longer. But we'll see whether the club has made the right decision or whether they made the wrong decision by retaining Erik Ten Hag. We will see the results in the next matches. But I'm sure that Man United with its current conditions will not develop at all. they will only win against weak teams and lose against strong teams.

The big mistake made by the Manchester United board began when, instead of firing coach Ten Hag, they decided to fire Ronaldo. This means that the club's owners have no idea about football management and have no great ambitions for the club. Whenever the press talks about Ten Hag's departure, I see more news saying that he won't leave because he won the FA Cup last season. For the club's board, although he didn't manage to win the Premier League, he did manage to win something, which is something great in the board's view. In this article, for example:

I realized that the same idea that was talked about in the first season that Ten Hag arrived, that he needed more time to improve the team, continues to this day, even though many seasons have passed since he arrived at Manchester United. In other words, it doesn't matter what results he has in the Premier League, if he achieves something this season, then his job is safe.

Ten Hag's in over his head. It's plain as day. He's got this blind spot for Onana. Dude's costing United games, but Ten Hag's too stubborn to bench him. That's not loyalty, that's bad management. Look at his signings. Anthony, Malacia – big money, zero impact. Ten Hag's splashing cash, but he's not buying winners. And the striker situation? It's a joke. United's attack is toothless, and Ten Hag's doing nothing about it

The top managers adapt. They rotate. They make tough calls. Ten Hag's got this ego, this arrogance. He thinks he's always right. The truth is, he's not. United needs a wake-up call. They need a manager who's hungry, who's got a vision. Ten Hag's got them stuck in neutral. It's time for a change

I don't think Ten Hag will be sacked anytime soon because I guess the board will also consider the long-term plan initiated by Ten Hag. In other words, it's already absurdly wet so it would have been better to just dive in.

He's already spent quite a lot of money and also brought so many players to Old Trafford. If there is a new coach, then maybe that person may not fit in with Ten Hag's legacy, which means there will be another overhaul, and it will cost the board a lot more money.

After all, it's only been three matches, and he also hasn't had the chance to field his best squad, and their new players still need to adapt. If in the middle of the season Man United look worse, even though they are already playing with their full team, then that could be a consideration for ousting Ten Hag.

You're right, I once said that management must be able to see all aspects of the team so that they can evaluate. Ten Hag has been given excellent support facilities. Ten Hag has been given the trust and freedom to transfer the desired player. But looking at the current conditions, even the desired player is not able to have a good impact on Man United. It seems that the philosophy of the game and tactics do not match the style of play in the EPL. I also think the management should start giving warnings to Ten Hag.

From a player then becoming Pep Guardiola's assistant, now Arteta has a career as Arsenal manager. At the beginning of his career with Arsenal, the situation was not so smooth. However, Arteta was able to build the young Gunners squad to perform better. Although they did not win a trophy with the team they coached, at least Arsenal is now giving color back to the Premier League. In the last two seasons, the Gunners have almost always prevented Manchester City from winning the Premier League title. That's why the club still trusts Mikel Arteta so far. However, it's not just Arteta who has built Arsenal this far. Edu also played a role as director of football, he is good at recruiting players who will be brought to the Emirates Stadium. Now, Arsenal will work hard again to realize winning the Premier League trophy. Although the challenges are always tough, at least they are ready by maximizing the performance and mentality of the Gunners' players.

Onana does have quite great capabilities in this role particularly of being bid-footed in play of maneuvers and team momentum boost when in defensive line. This is something that is highly appreciated in the today’s game and puts a team in vantage. Nonetheless, the player has a disadvantage of making mistakes, he has numerous strength that makes him a perfect first choice for Erik ten Hag such as, the chance creation and the way he controls the ball technically. Rather surprisingly, most current elite goalkeepers are somewhat similar to each other in terms of effectiveness that can contribute to their team’s game plans in a way resembling Ederson from Man City or Raya of Arsenal. So, more work on improving Onana and learning about the mistakes that he makes should be carried out in order to become the best in his position and be valuable for the team. Of course, this means that with the support of the coach, and with the continuous process of developing the skills within the field he is expected to be much more stable as a player in the future.

Onana has made many mistakes, it cannot be denied even though overall Onana cannot be blamed for the poor performance of the Manchester United team, indeed overall the performance of the Manchester United team is not going well and the one who should be responsible is Ten Hag, he who has failed to develop the performance of the Manchester United team even though he has made many changes.
I think it is no longer suitable for Ten Hag's playing style to apply or indeed Ten Hag does not have good qualities as a coach to be able to improve the performance of the Manchester United team, so no matter how forced the results will still be the same and I think it won't be long before Ten Hag is fired.

The only permanent solution to Manchester United's squad would be to replace Ten Haag. Because he's been around for a long time and friendly behavior has weakened, players will only perform better if he's down. Although players may not develop a passion for the Manchester United team, it is possible to do so. Because Ten Haag's behavior is not obvious to the players, there are weaknesses, so from different angles I can understand and this will be a permanent solution.  Manchester United team will perform well only if Ten Haag is replaced by a new experienced coach.

If they continue in this current form, it is finished for United and Ten Hag is the killer because they will still finish at 8th position without qualifying to Europa which they were lucky to partake in this season due to the luck Ten Hag had in winning FA Cup finals.

I knew it that the finals was a lucky win and not because Ten Hag has improved the team performance or he knew what he was doing, because it has shown clearly in the beginning of this season that the team performance did not improve.

Chelsea's problem is different from Manchester United and I believe that Chelsea can defeat Bournemouth, the reason why I said that Chelsea can defeat Bournemouth is that Chelsea knows how to play against teams like Bournemouth, although Bournemouth is having a good performance they have not to meet good strong opponents that will defeat them and score them like 3 goals, I know Chelsea have not been playing that good but Chelsea is capable of defeating Bournemouth.

Bournemouth is playing at home and that will encourage them to play a good game but Chelsea is still not that team that gives up easily, Chelsea has a good squad now and with that squad, I believe Chelsea is going to make a good position this season, for me I don't think we should even compare Chelsea performance to Manchester united performance because Chelsea is better than Manchester United, Manchester United have a good squad but the team lacks a good coach.

Though I agreed that with your opinion on Onana being prone to mistake, however I still rate him as a good goalkeeper and I believe Erik ten Hag had sticked to playing him as their main goalkeeper because of his ability to use both feet which he can use to launch a counterattack or to start build up play from the back, those are two qualities abilities he had in his possession which I doubted any of Man Utd reserve goalkeepers has those qualities, these are tactic adopted by Man City goalkeeper Ederson and Arsenal Raya which had helped the team to become very competitive thus Onana needed to up his game in term of correcting his mistakes.

It is very difficult to draw any conclusions from the few matches that the teams have already played, Chelsea can defeat Wolves and in the next match barely play to a draw with Crystal Palace, the same with Bournemouth, they can play to a draw with Newcastle, but then lose to West Ham and could lose to Everton if not for something incomprehensible in the hosts' defense at the end of the match.

Chelsea have a very strong selection of players, and if the strength of the team was assessed only by this indicator, Chelsea would of course win, but everything is not so simple, and so far Maresca cannot benefit from such a strong lineup. Chelsea are the favorites, but I am not sure that they will be able to beat Bournemouth away, at least because I think Newcastle is a stronger team now, and they were unable to beat Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

There is sense in what you are saying but I will not call Ten Hag's character selfishness because it does not fit that definition. We can say he has his preferred players even though it is not supposed to be that way. For instance, I still find it hard to understand how he play Onana and give him free hands with no competition from the other keepers, Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton. Onana have made several blunders that some coaches would have tried someone else even if it is for small matches but he kept using him. For the rest of the players, I feel that Ten Hag is currently constrained by the injuries of some of United players which we can say is the reason for some of the bad outings we have seen.

Yes, last 1st September against Manchester United, Liverpool team they lost badly with a difference of 3-0 goals. Which is very disappointing, after that Manchester United will play a match against Southampton on 14th September, in this match they have to play with their best, because if Manchester United loses this match too, then Erik Ten Hak will have to face a difficult problem.

Moreover, Southampton team is not stronger than Manchester United, so Manchester United team must win this match anyway, otherwise it will be very shameful for Manchester United team.

Exactly the point, players are humans with emotions and different problems going through there head though they are paid for their jobs but that doesn't mean that they won't be on lapses sometimes, we shouldnt always expect players to always be in good form despite how to they train it doesn't really matter what matters sometimes is their state of mind at any given time.
Criticism is normal especially if the club management and the fans have the mindset that some players were the reason for them not to get it right in the previous or particular event but the truth is that Manchester United manager has to restrategize, as it stands all the blame should go to the manager not necessary the players because the job of a manager is to identify lope holes in the team and fix them adequately, so for me, i think the manager should workout modalities and come in with new strategy to put his team in winning part because if this continuous the unexpected may happen to his position.

This is just something that is gradually going almost unnoticed if not you have drawn our attention to it, the fact about Bournemouth, I mean they may not have really won all their games but maintaining an unbeaten status is very key to them and they have maintained it so far and if much attention isn't given to them, they could go the season unbeaten but then let's wait till after they get to meet the bigger teams. Chelsea is just in a state of inconsistent progression which looks like hey make few progress after which they still fallback again even worse then thy have progressed, I will be looking forward to their performance in their next game and hope they do better but importantly having the ability to maintain a good and steady progression so this season they could finish up qualifying for the champions league at least.

It's true there a possibility the match will end in draw, but based on head to head, they only drew 2 from 17 match, that's really small percentage. Even they play in Vitality Stadium, but Chelsea has some decent players, they should able to win.

Remember Bournemouth is just a mediocre team and they didn't really successful with the new players they signed.

If Ten Hag refuses to keep his selfishness aside from Manchester United players, whatever results that comes out from his selfish desires, he is the one to bear responsibility for that, not the players, even if he is sacked tomorrow, the players he has selfish interest remains in Manchester United squad to welcome the next coach. That's what he forgets.

A wise coach wouldn't dare to put a player ahead of his career no matter how the relationship he has with the player. He will try to make a decisive order to save his career because while his career is gone, the players he has been protecting all along will remain in the club to welcome a new coach while he ends up losing. I expect Ten Hag to have such a mentality within him, not to lose his job as Manchester United coach over friendship, now there's time to correct and amend the mistakes of choice of players to play often despite their flops in the field of play.

Yea, it personally think Manchester united problem is Erik Ten Hag, first I will say Ten Hag doesn't know how to sign quality players, since his arrival I can't even pin point one quality player that he has sign, the likes of Onana, Anthony, malacia and so on are just average players who where bought for big money, we all know how Manchester have been struggling with a proper striker in recent years and still every transfer window will open and Ten Hag will still not go for a proper striker. Zirkzee is just another average striker bought for big money.

Then in term of the players he trust, that another problem too, Onana is giving us serious problems and Ten Hag is just been stubborn and selfish, because he was the one that bought him on Manchester united and he is not going bench him and I can say that the reason Onana haven't improved yet because the coach don't even give room for other Goal keepers to challenge him.

We all see how Pep Guadiola bench Ederson last season for Oterga last season even in some crutial matches. That shows that you have trust in both of them and he can bench each of them depending on the one that is in best foam.

I'm not expecting a good season again to be honest, because I think we need a change of coach, Ten Hag isn't building anything to be honest, or same Manchester united since his arrival till date. Enough is Enough and the system needs a change
