Ten Hag’s side could record their lowest ever finish in the Premier League this season, despite heading into this month’s FA Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley and sky sports expert Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher disagree over whether Dutchman should remain manager.

“I think the fans are patient – you saw that on Monday,” Ten Hag said, referring to the wave of support expressed by United’s away fans immediately after the 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace.

“But when I see some of the comments, they don’t think so. Either they don’t have any knowledge about football or they don’t have any knowledge about running a football team. It’s possible, or they just have the ability to do it.

“But I think there are a lot of people who see the problems and they’re being patient.”

Ten Hag believes “common sense” will prevail as the club’s decision-makers consider his future, brushing aside rumors that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos could sack him even if United win the FA Cup. Like compatriot Louis van Gaal in 2016.

“If I look at the issues we face, all the injuries, and how they perform in almost every game,” Ten Hag said. “There’s a strong team spirit.

“Not on Monday and that’s why I’m so disappointed. I’m really disappointed on Monday and the players are disappointed in themselves. Collective failure.”

Arteta: I admire Ten Witches United

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta believes Ten Hag is an excellent coach who should be given more time to do things right at Old Trafford.

“I know what he’s trying to do, I know how he does it, I know how difficult it is to prepare to play against him, so I have a lot of respect for him.

“Hopefully, yes, he will get time because we are colleagues and we know how difficult this league is and how profitable it is, and yes, hopefully that will be the case because I think he is a great coach.

Neville vs Carragher: What should Manchester United do with Ten Witches?

Gary Neville told Sky Sports:

“I don’t see a suitable replacement for Ten Hag. Bayern Munich are working hard to find a replacement and others are working hard to find a replacement.

“I think we need to keep hold of Ten Hag and give him a season – an injury-free season – to see if United can get back to the standards of last season when they won a trophy and finished in the top four. .

“Players and managers have struggled to adapt to Old Trafford over the last ten years. When United signed these players and managers they were great, so there is something fundamentally wrong that is causing this difficulty. Maybe new ownership and personnel will allow these players and head coach to feel more stable.

“Look, I’m hoping for the FA Cup final against Manchester City in three or four weeks, it’s such a tough game and we know how good City are but if they can get over it, who knows where that could lead. .

“You know, in 1989-90, Sir Alex Ferguson won the FA Cup and that gave him and a bunch of players confidence in him. Then they won the Cup Winners’ Cup and then the League Cup and then went on to win the League. champion.

“It’s step by step, step by step, it could be just around the corner or it could take a few years, but they will win again, Manchester United. It’s inevitable.”

“Ten Hag is renowned for his work at Ajax, especially when he led the team to the Champions League semi-finals. He is not regarded as an emerging coach, but at 52 years old he should be a ready-made A coach is someone who imposes a clear vision.

United had qualified for the Champions League in two of the three seasons before Ten Hag took over and it was believed talented players required exceptional coaching and a change in training ground culture.

Like Arteta, Hag has no choice but to become more pragmatic with the personnel he has in his first season. In his first three transfer windows, United have spent more than £380 million pounds, but nothing changed because they bought more dead wood than they could buy.

“In Ten Hag’s first Premier League squad (defeat against Brighton in August 2022), seven are likely to remain in the first-choice XI. Only two have left the club and the other, Jadon Sancho, is due to Participation in the Champions League eventually led to a loan move to Borussia Dortmund.

“Manchester United were regularly beaten by their opponents, losing 3-6 to Manchester City and 0-7 to Liverpool, while also performing poorly against mid-table teams in the Premier League.

“Even though United have done well under Ten Hag, I really struggle to recall any outstanding performances in a sharp, proactive system of play. Two years on, they haven’t looked like a top team. The team is built that way.

“None of Arteta’s most disappointing defeats compares to Monday night’s 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace. The biggest difference, most worryingly for Ten Hag, is that he was not the boss’ appointment .
