Although I also don't think Erik ten Hag is an impressive great coach, but I also can't say Erik ten Hag is completely bad. Because after all, even though Erik ten Hag is seen as bad by you, but the fact is that Erik ten Hag still managed to make Manchester United get a trophy last season. Also, the opponent Manchester United faced was also not easy, because Manchester United also managed to beat Manchester City. Thus, at least there is still a good side managed to Erik ten Hag for Manchester United and not bad at all.

Indeed, maybe you are so disappointed or maybe you basically hate Manchester United or hate Erik ten Hag that you don't recognize the success side that Erik ten Hag has for Manchester United. After all, the Europa League hasn't started yet and neither has the Premier League which is just starting and thus, we can't judge Manchester United and Erik ten Hag badly because after all, there are still many opportunities that can be maximized during the course of this season.

Inasmuch as I don't rate Erik ten Hag among the best managers in English Premier League, I wouldn't not agree to your opinion that he's the worst manager in the universe. That's exaggeration at it's peak and you know that. We saw how Dutch club Ajax was performing under Erik ten Hag and for him to also manage to win two trophies in two seasons for Manchester United makes your description of him absolutely unfair. I'm not satisfied with his performance with Manchester United because considering the quality of players at his disposal, I expect much better than I've seen from him. He's a good manager for average European clubs but not for a big club like Manchester United.

Manchester United have made many changes to their defense line in several tranfers market, but to see whether these are good or bad changes of course we should see later, in this season transfer market Manchester United has brought in many defensive players and this should be cover their weaknesses last season and made them better this season, but to be honest, at the moment I'm not sure if this recruitment will have a positive impact considering what they also did in the transfer market last season because also they brought in a lot of great defenders like Varane and Martinez, but In fact, this did not have a good impact because of the poor game scheme and strategy of Ten Hag so far, in my opinion, apart from defense which was Manchester United weakness last season, the poor strategy and game scheme implemented by Ten Hag was also their main problem.

Now we will enter the play-off round after completing the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League this season. There will be 12 matches that will determine whether they will be in the Europa League or not. As usual there will be 2 legs of the match played, which means that each club must focus on each match played so that they can be in the Europa League.

However, it is still confusing, because the clubs that have confirmed themselves to be in the Europa League are 17, while this season there will be 36 clubs competing there. If you look at the matches in this play-off round, there will be an additional 12 clubs playing in the Europa League. That means there are still 7 clubs missing. Will the 12 clubs that lost in this play-off round compete again to compete for the 7 places available? And after that from the 6 clubs that lost in the 6 matches will there be another match to compete for the 1 remaining place?

Manchester United squad has lots of work remaining to get back to their old glory but I think this season they have taken the first step. They have solidified their defense which is a good thing but I think the lackings remains in the attacking part. I was surprised to see Bruno Fernandes playing the striker role. Zirkzee was substituted into the game too late. If he had subbed in the game earlier, he could have made some changes in the scoreline, meaning he could have scored more goals. The addition of Zirkzee into the squad has been a very good decision and as we can see it has worked out so far. A little worried about Antony though, because he was bought at such a big price and everyone expected him to do well but so far he has been a big flop.

Addition of De Ligt and Mazroui is I think one of the best decisions Manchester United has taken in the recent few years.

I think Manchester united has more problem than just their defense because first of all when a team is not consistent with playing good football or a fixed system or pattern it becomes a problem for them. Manchester united has always been a team that fluctuate partaking their gameplay sometimes they do excellently in one game and the next game Eric ten hag gets to make one big change which affects the team so bad.

It seems like they will be better this season than last year. Their defensive line has been reinforced with strong players. Manchester United is a team full of success in the past and they are used to success. They want to be successful in the Europa League this year and lift the cup. In my opinion, Manchester United is the biggest candidate for this cup. I think they will be successful in the English Premier League as well. This year could be their year. They will most likely be in the Champions League next year. If Maguire and Yoro get along well, they will play comfortably until the end of the season and concede few goals.

It's going to be a really impressive one if Manchester United really get their defense fixed because it's been one of their major points of weakness last season, they had one of the poor defense last season and if they should continue with same they are likely not going to do any better, nevertheless Maguire has been fairly good recently and adding som kind of help around his efforts would be a very effective and productive approach to getting the defense fixed for Manchester United, going by all this developments, hopefully they get much better productively this season than they did last season.

Only thing I have ever heard about Ten Hag greatness that is recognized during his time coaching Manchester United is fairly high win ratio, some people say that Ten Hag is the Manchester United coach who can have the highest win ratio compared to previous coaches.
But honestly I don't really care about the win ratio because the most important thing is whether or not they are able to compete for the title, the success of football team will only be truly seen and recognized if they succeed in winning the title.
It just that I also agree if there is statement about Ten Hag being bad coach, he failed to bring Manchester United to appear with significant and stable increase in performance, they do not have real consistency from each season.
So far there has always been decline and increase that changes and is really uncontrollable, Ten Hag has made many efforts but in reality he has not been able to prove that what he has done can really bring Manchester United to the top of English or European football.
Now for the Europa League competition I not sure Manchester United can win the title, but I hope they perform well and make the competition interesting.

With the squad that has been successfully built, Ten Hag only needs to put together his ideal squad to face every challenge in every competition that is followed, with adequate rotation options it seems that Ten Hag job this season is a little easier. In addition, Ten Hag must also determine the scale of priorities going forward, adjusting to the targets he wants to achieve, which in my opinion the Europa League trophy is more realistic to pursue than the Premier League trophy. Of course it would be better if Ten Hag was able to bring Manchester United to appear stable in every competition, although we realize that it will not be easy to do.

If we look at the Europa League contestants this season, on paper Manchester United is undoubtedly one of the favorite teams. Indeed, there are several other teams that are also very worthy of being included in the favorite list, but their chances are lower than Manchester United. However, we have seen how the Europa League last season was full of surprises, the same thing might happen again. Apart from all that, Manchester United can be said to be quite lucky to win the FA Cup trophy, thus getting a ticket to the Europa League this season. In addition to the efforts to improve the squad that have been made, playing in the Europa League this season is something that Ten Hag current squad should be grateful for.

Yes indeed, Manchester United managed to bring in Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui and both also from Bayern Munich and also, in their first match in the Premier League yesterday also the two players were played and Manchester United also managed to win there. In addition, that Manchester United also still has Leny Yoro who is also a defender but unfortunately, Leny Yoro suffered an injury he suffered during the pre-season match.

With these players, then of course I also believe that Manchester United's defense will be better in this season. Thus also, Manchester United have players who have good quality for the main players and reserve players. So yes, it is hoped that Manchester United can maintain a good performance also with such players, will make the rotation of players carried out will also be able to provide good results for the team.

Usually the team that concedes in the final minutes, while the goal scored against them makes them lose the victory that they should have achieved quickly, they will be mentally shaken. How could it not be, in their exhaustion they have to lose something that only has a few minutes left. It also makes them more tired because they have to continue the game for more than 90 minutes in normal time. Seeing that I thought maybe Ajax would lose, because logically Panathianaikos had the upper hand after scoring the goal. However, Ajax was able to maintain their mentality well, even though at first it was down, but they were able to recover quickly. Finally they won the match through a very long penalty shootout drama because they had to go through 2 rounds.

It is quite likely for us to see Manchester United defense getting better. Have you heard of the most recent transfers? They have signed Mazraoui and de Ligt. They are aiming to sign a defensive midfielder also.

These are good steps to take to fix defensive problems at a big rate. Europa League winner odds aren't determined yet. But I expect Manchester United to be one of the biggest favourites of course. 

It isn't unrealistic I think. It is all up to having a working system after making the right transfers. I hope ten Hag won't fail about that this time.

How many goals a team wins against another team is not a big deal but how that team performed consistently. The lack of consistency between Manchester United saw them win one match and lose 5 matches. There are definitely flaws in their plans, Manchester United's defense is a little weak but those of us who understand football fairly well must say their midfield and attacking line-up is very strong yet they cannot do well with this team. If the manager is not able to plan and manage the team properly then the manager should be sacked and a new manager should be appointed because an incompetent manager should never be placed in a competent position. 

I will blame the manager directly because Manchester United was not that bad but since the current manager of Manchester United took over the team has started to deteriorate. If the same thing happens from him next season, there is no point in relying on him.

Erik ten Hag did not succeed in showing good concentration in maintaining his performance because in the first season he succeeded in bringing Manchester United through to the Champions League but in the second season he failed to do so. Apart from that, his performance in the Premier League is not as bad as people say because he has taken big steps for the team's progress. Yes, this season we will see his progress in the European league with the status of a team with big names and many quality players in the team. Will Erik succeed in bringing his team to the final of the European league.
I also don't see any extraordinary breakthroughs being made by the management in the transfer market this time because they are still having difficulty bringing in quality players even though they have enough fresh money if they want to overhaul the team.

I know Erick Ten Hag has not been really fantastic at Manchester United but the description of him you just gave if merely exaggerations, he's not as terrible as you just described him to be, even with the poor performance he's got something to show for in the past two seasons at Manchester United, remember he didn't meet the team any better tho I'm not making excuses for his poor performance which is believed that he was supposed to do better for Manchester United having stayed this long already. He's not as pathetic as such that will be likend to the worse coach in the universe, you sound like you have got some personal resentments around him, he's actually taking too long to produce the kind of results desired of him by the fans but then he can't be seen as this terrible just yet.

This match between Panathinaikos and Ajax was really exciting! Two teams were fighting hard and wouldnt give up. That kind of game makes you remember why we love this sport. After such a tough 90 minutes, things really got interesting when it came down to penalties. Mind games are just as important as physical ones, trust me. It was clear that both teams were worn out, but they had to keep their minds on those goals. Thats the real winning mindset.

And you have to give it to Ajax: they won in the end. They kept calm when things got tough and did what they needed to do when it meant most. Thats what makes winners different from losers. Also, I can say that the Europa League is getting better. Because there are more top teams participating, there is more drama, excitement, and finishes that keep you on the edge of your seat.

I feel like last season was a very fun one and I think it ended up being a very important one and I think we should be considering that we are going to see this result without a doubt. I think it's clear that last years Leverkusen run and Atalanta run ended up with a great clash in the end and we should consider that we are going to make some good entertaining games and we can't really consider that to change anytime soon.

We couldn't really say that last season was something that we could consider that very bad, I understand that we can make some understanding that some good teams didn't do well and betting for that is something that may not be too fun and a lot of people lost a lot of money on betting at good teams and not getting the result they want, which is quite rare because big teams here usually do fine but recently they haven't been that great. I think that part was "boring" in the sense that we couldn't make that much profit, but it wasn't not entertaining.

In fact, Trabzonspor had also lost the first leg when Trabzonspor played at home. As such, losing the second leg and playing away was no longer a surprise to me, because the reality was that Trabzonspor really weren't able to put up a good fight. At least to reduce the situation by making a score, but Trabzonspor also did not manage to do so so Trabzonspor was eliminated 3-0 on aggregate. In the next phase SK Rapid will meet Braga a team from Portugal and ofcourse, it will not be an easy opponent for SK Rapid.

But, if SK Rapid is able and managed to repeat its success when beating Trabzonspor like winning in the first leg,  then maybe SK Rapid will also have a chance to qualify. Because anyway, SK Rapid will also play away in the first leg later against Braga even though it is a difficult opponent, but I think the opportunity to get good results will certainly always be there if they can play well later.

Well That was one sided match and SK Rapid Wien team played very well and did two goals in this match. SK Rapid Wien did their all effort to win this match and that team was fully prepared but Trabzonspor was not fully prepared and all players af that team were overconfident and that's why that team lose the match due to bad performance. They should stop goals if they are good team but they could not successful in their aim. M. Seidl did fiist goal and made the match and he knew that they can win this match and we saw result in the side of SK Rapid Wien team. In the second half , Trabzonspor team should try to do gaol but they didn't try  this and result is in the front of us.
