As a result, Ten Hag no longer got the respect he deserved as Manchester United coach.
A lot of harsh criticism was leveled at him because he was deemed to have failed to build Manchester United into a better team, in fact this season Manchester United was as bad as last season.
What else was expected of him other than him resigning instead of being fired and getting compensation, but I don't think Ten Hag was very confident about resigning. Ten Hag feels he is capable of returning the team to its previous performance, but his technical and strategic abilities are very limited. He was supported by quality players, but their performance was very different from what was expected.
Yes Erik Ten Hag is definitely going to be facing the criticism he is facing right now, there’s nothing stopping that from coming, Erik Ten Hag himself knows that he won’t escape this. Manchester United no matter how we put it is the biggest club in England and now they are languishing in the 14 position that’s a just a 8 points from seven games which is the worst in the club history, last season he had just 9 points from same games this shows how he seriously needs that criticism.
Erik Ten wouldn’t resign because he has believe in him self yo turn things around which is what anyone would also think and believe, now if he resigns himself then the bonuses to be paid might not be paid to him but when he gets sacked he would be compensated. Right now I think Ten Hag wouldn’t resign he will definitely stay till he get sack instead
It didn’t stopped the club from winning with a distinct three goals to one. But more importantly, it has reshaped their perspectives on how to reshuffle their squad depth when the need arises and what to expect.
Southampton have been poor this season and this is the types of matches that any teams looking to rotate their squad will be able to do it. For Arsenal it was a smart move because they simply need the entire squad to be fit for the season and this rotation is better, sometimes you just to be careful because this matches could go the other way and that’s why you see some coaches doing this rotation in cup games only
