with videoErik ten Hag was hit hard by the English analysts again after Manchester United lost the victory against Burnley in the final phase. The question is increasingly being asked whether the Dutchman is still the right man for the job. The English media are also questioning this again.
“Another bad performance,” said Tim Sherwood on Sky Sports. “Another performance without playing style or identity. You should see that by now. It’s not as if Ten Hag is just starting out. He has worked here long enough.” The trainer himself emphasized in his interview that things cannot happen that quickly. “We have some very young players and we are building the club. That takes time. I apologize to everyone. I am also impatient, but we and the fans have to be patient.”
“But I really don’t see what he wants,” said Sherwood. When in possession it’s all about moments and when you lose the ball it’s a mess.” The analyst is concerned about the apparently lazy culture within the selection. “The midfield is not running. It is up to the coach to recognize that and tell his players when the ball is played behind them but at the back.”

Former Manchester United player Owen Hargreaves supported him. He was shocked that relegation candidate Burnley had the most possession at Old Trafford. “That’s bizarre. You wouldn’t suspect that they are fighting for survival.”
The painful conclusion that Sherwood ultimately came down to: “Manchester United wants to be like Arsenal and Manchester City, but they are still miles away from that.”
English media
TheSun found it particularly poor defensively at Manchester United. “They give away opportunities in wrapping paper, even against a team that has been fighting relegation all season,” the newspaper writes. There closed The Mirror joins in. ‘Apologies and time are running out for Ten Hag. The recent results simply aren’t good and won’t be enough to satisfy Sir Jim Ratcliffe as the Ineos chief is putting together a super team behind the scenes. His credit has now evaporated.’
Daily Mirror focused on the flute concerto towards Ten Hag. “He should be ashamed of being booed by his own fans.”
