Is Erik ten Hag TROLLING FANS? 😳 REACTING to Man United manager's confident comments 😬 | ESPN FC

Mario Melchiot, Craig Burley and Shaka Hislop join Dan Thomas on ESPN FC to react to Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag's comments calling Man United "one of the most dynamic and entertaining teams" in the Premier League.

[@Photosoflife]

@ingolf82 You must not actually watch United. Because their matches are the very complete opposite of “boring AF.” They are the most open and end to end matches in the entire league pretty much each week.

[@Photosoflife]

These pundits really need to realize that constantly talking about Ten Hag and United has no real effect anymore. They can mock him all they want but he’s very likely staying for the final year of his contract. Something these pundits never mention. It makes no sense to pay two coaching staffs concurrently for a year when Ten Hag and his crew only have a year left on their deals at the club.

[@Cocauh]

Facts. You have got to separate the feelings from the business side of things. And he could actually turn it around next year.

[@Photosoflife]

@@Cocauh Very good point. But these pundits are not interested in that type of minutiae. Their coverage of Ten Hag and United is getting really old.

[@gazelliott2414]

United are a joke and there fans don't even realise how much of a laughing stock they are now, keep filling the Glazers pockets

[@LeoBov1]

All these pundits had Liverpool winning the league this year lol.. They have simply bottled it, they were 5 points clear and have ended up crumbling in crunch time

[@bartdoorn9635]

After Brentford he said that they dropped 2 points with Brentford having 35 goal attempts.

[@Photosoflife]

@bartdoorn9635 That’s because they did. Mount scored in the 96th minute to make it 1-0. And then they dropped their guard and allowed Brentford to score in the final minute of the game in the 99th minute. So many people like you aren’t actually listening to what Ten Hag is actually saying and are taking your cue from media pundits like this who are intentionally taking his words out of context to provoke reactions just like yours.

[@bartdoorn9635]

@@Photosoflife Haha. It should had been 4-0 for Brentford after 90 minutes. How dare you can say then that you dropped two points? That is completely out of the world.

[@ngunuss6482]

Klopp and Salah argued and nobody said anything, ETH isn't a fluent English speaker but these guys focus so much on his comments. Why sack ETH and bring in Tuchel who is unable to win anything at Bayern? I mean he won the league last season because Julian won so many points for him. But the media knows that United has impatient fans and are so ready to throw these guys under the bus. We insult our players more than we support them. They're poor but bullying them on social media and making these pundits think talking about the club in this manner is good? Come on!

[@vincineratev9183]

Other media are talking about the Klopp/Salah thing, just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Besides, ETH is not fluent English speaker - I think he's more than capable. And if he's really not, then don't say things like this. It takes two hands to clap, you give such statements, media will come to hunt for you especially you're at Man U. ETH just wants all the attention, good or bad.

[@naijamasterflexin-dh7fc]

They play some of the most dynamic football i've seen, it fels like watching NFL or NBA end to end stuff. No control whatsoever, players dont want to keep he ball, send it to the other goalkeeper.

[@lovejoy3347]

You're not taking his post match ramblings seriously are you? They're the ravings of someone with absolutely nothing to lose. He would soon be talking sense and logic and feeling stressed if there was no euromillions jackpot severance pay-off package.

[@brianvandegrift8407]

Burley just don’t like United so asking him for input about them is laughable! There were more than 1 penalty shout in that game for United. Whether you want to admit it or not it’s true!

[@karannegi7199]

IMO Ten Hag is easily one of the best stand up comedians in the world. So I am very surprised to find out that he is a football manager as well. Talk about being a Renaissance.

[@bartdoorn9635]

It is getting ridicously now. Already the last months. He is damaging his own coach career. He will be fired anyway. Just say; 'we underperform'. And shut up talking after that.

As a Man United fan, this season has been painful to watch. I got up at 2am to watch that game & I think I put in more effort than some of the players. As a neutral, I don't think it's particularly dynamic or entertaining football. As for the haters... they're loving it.

[@Lioness_UTV]

I agree with you, its intriguing as a neutral I often watch United matches as I am genuinely trying to work out ten Hag's tactics and how the players will react to the latest off field drama. Truthfully I've NEVER seen anything as toxic as this for this long with a club this size. Ten Hag is under the microscope now and he needs to be the experienced steady hand and his comments which are clearly not connected to reality isn't helping - its sadly doing te opposite and showing that he is out of his depth at this level.

[@queenieyuet4297]

how painful, we will win Fa Cup. Liverpool season is painful to watch

[@chrispratt3888]

You know there are other teams in the premier league apart from UTD that could use the press ESPN, just saying...

[@vincineratev9183]

But there aren't alot of delusional speeches like ETH out there, honestly. You cannot expect the media not to hunt ETH when he said things like that multiple times. Takes two times to clap, ETH is not at Burnley (no disrespect). Stop being naive that media has an agenda against ETH.

Actually he is right. Man united works with counter attacks. Only Nottingham Forest Plays like Man united. He is right because when you are waiting for the counter attacks there is tension.

Man Utd and Sheffield Utd’s last 3 results indicate exactly where United are: SHEFFIELD (bottom of the league): - Sheffield Utd 1 Burnley 4 - Man Utd 4 Sheffield United 2. Level until 81st minute. - Newcastle 5 Sheffield Utd 1 MAN UTD: - Man Utd 3 Coventry 3 aet. Utd lose a 3 goal lead in 20 minutes and are saved by the width of a toe-nail from being knocked out. - Man Utd 4 Sheffield 2.

In my opinion is Ten Hag pissing on us United fans with his comments. He shows us no respect at all with the garbage he is coming with. He clearly thinks that we all are total idiots that know nothing about football. The United fans that still thinks he is the right man for us are gullible clowns that would think the earth is flat if Ten Hag told them that.

Why dont you talk about the fact that if england had sean dyche as their manager and played a long ball based 442 block with toney and calvert lewin up top you would win the euros? You can even play trent at rm with dwight oneil left mid to spam crosses. This is what all the football experts are saying in my country. Dyche is the only hope for england to go back to their roots and play english football. In my country we laugh at your footballing identity crisis and your attempts to try and be a spanish and german hybrid. Just be yourself and play long ball football abd make it as ugly as possible like you did in 66.

[@CuracaoRevisited]

It is not about the manager it is about the club culture: moyes, van gaal, Mourinho all couldn’t perform at this club while they excelled at other clubs. Something is rotten in the state of United…

5 of Ten Hag’s buys started against Burnley. By the end of the game, 7 players bought by him had featured. He has spent £400m of United’s money only to take them backwards, to within touching distance of finishing up with United’s worst ever performance in the Premier League. Do people - other than delusional Man Utd fans - really think that INEOS are going to let this man have another £400m to spend on players? No, it’s done. Ten Hag’s tenure ends the moment the referee blows the final whistle at the cup final.

When you compare the other top managers resumes in their first seasons, ETH is right up there, better than almost everyone. He’s had an absolute circus to deal with (Ronaldo Greenwood,Sancho,Antony,Rashford)every single media outlet on his back, and no help from anyone at the club.

One good thing with De Zerbi is he can do wonders with youth and average players....united won't require superstar signings he will work with talents like Openda, Jonathan Davids, Ivan Toney, Vlahovic, Brahim Diaz, Dyabala 12million release clause ,Sergej Milenkovic, Ousmane Diomande, amadou onana; amadou haidara from Leipzig who happens to be a man utd fan, Johan bakayoko, zubimendi, Latin America talent, replace Rashford with mitoma, Neco Williams or Leao etc The only players who can raise big revenue are Shaw, Rashford and Bruno SELL THEM!!!
