It won’t be a surrender, but we’re close: Manchester United, who were already called upon to make a decisive reaction after a terrible start to the season, lost 3-0 at home against Tottenham under the blows of Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke. And the ranking is now crying: i Red Devils they have 7 points, the result of just 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats in 6 games.
It goes without saying that the position of coach Erik Ten Hag is now more in the balance than ever. The former Liverpool star, Jamie Redknapp, did not tell the Dutch coach speaking from the studios of Sky Sport UK: “Manchester United have hit rock bottom after regression under the leadership of Erik ten Hag” – his harsh words – “for Tottenham today everything was so easy to manage. Spurs looked so comfortable, so calm, they were never really under pressure”.
The tirade then continues: “United spent £616 million, Ten Hag has been here for two years and I feel like the team is regressing. And he can’t even complain: he has his four defenders in place, all the players at his disposal, there are no excuses. They’re at an all-time low right now, I don’t see where I can go from here, they’ve been disastrous from so many points of view, as a team. It’s really embarrassing. A club of this stature shouldn’t produce performances like these.”
The final thrust is again on Ten Hag: “I’ve been doing this job for a long time and I’ve seen managers who eventually lost their jobs. Well this is exactly the kind of scenario that often leads to managers being fired. And I’m sorry a a bit for him, it seems to me that he is out of his element, a bit lost. But I just don’t understand how he can keep his job with these performances. I think he seems completely lost, I don’t know how he can change things.”
