If Ten Hag is leaving then Rashford seriously needs to follow him right out the door. In all seriousness, I’m genuinely disgusted that Rashford will be allowed to play under his 6th manager at United (7 if you include Carrick). Not only have manager after manager kept getting sacked but the club continues to blindly attempt to build the team around him while further emboldening his petulant behavior and reward him with ludicrous contracts and wages that he categorically does not deserve. Rashford symbolizes the downward spiral of this club for nearly the past decade and I’m 100% completely over him at United.

[@Photosoflife]

Whatever your stance on Ten Hag, the leak that emerged today is incredibly disrespectful and sums up so much of what is wrong with United. The player power and downing tools culture that pundits often talk about ultimately stems from United’s ownership. What a lot of people don’t realize is the Glazers have created the perfect storm of allowing themselves to get extorted in the transfer market by massively overpaying transfer fees. That is then compounded by them signing players to ridiculous long term contracts that literally no other club would pay. The players inevitably lose their hunger and drive on massive wages. Their egos spiral out of control. Performances drop. And managers take the blame again and again for players who can’t be bothered. What makes it even worse is no United manager can actually get rid of these players in any sort of timely manner because the Glazers don’t want to take a loss on the players, the players don’t want to lose their massive contracts and refuse to leave, and no one manager can actually create the team they actually want.

From McKenna's point of view this is a good time to get a big job because there is every chance Ipswich could be relegated. And MU is a better job then Chelsea or Brighton because at MU he may have some say in transfers whereas at Chelsea and Brighton he definitely won't.

Even if Manchester United wins the FA Cup final tomorrow, Erik ten Hag hasn’t done enough to keep his job. Realistically don’t really think that they’ll beat Manchester City tomorrow if you think they will, then you’re deluded as some have this silver lining of them hosting Man City. In the 2015-16 season, 2 days after they won the FA Cup, Manchester United sacked Louis van Gaal, because they finished outside of the top 4 in the Premier League. Despite spending over 300 million, they finished in 8th place which is their worst league finish ever, they had a negative or single digit goal difference, they’re not even playing any sort of European football and they also finished dead last in their champions league group. People can talk about how they have so many injuries, but that’s no excuse for being this mediocre and not being able to get higher than an 8th place finish and all the excuses they’ve made is part of their problems holding them to a low standard and ten Hag constantly whining, they have the mentally and attitude of a mid table club. How many times do I have to say it, they’re just not good enough and are one of the worst coached teams in the world let alone the premier league they have a dysfunctional team that looks very lost and whenever they win, you don’t see much out of them. Not everything is on the manager, but part of this is down to coaching and the manager also has to be held to a very high degree and nobody is taking full responsibility for the way the team is playing because of all the injuries they’ve had. Part of why winning the FA Cup won’t be enough for him to keep his job is because there’s been a common thing about Manchester United this season which is that every big win is a false dawn of hope for them it proves to be a fluke because they always downgrade after a big result. An FA Cup win securing a trophy in much a disappointing season it’s huge for their morale, but it’s a bit of a fluke to be honest. Whatever happens whether he gets more time or not, I don’t care because they’ll still sack him no matter what and this isn’t the solution for Manchester United because sacking the manager where has that led them to, what other choice do they have, the results have gotten worse and worse and there’s no indication on how this team can properly improve even if they overhaul the squad in the summer.

Are you blind or just talking garbage? He started getting his good players towards the end. Plus giving these problems he has face to you, what would your playing style be like when the bench is full of academy kids and a cdm is sent to play center back?

[@StrettyEndShooter]

Play a system with what available players??? You goof. His 4231 system, which consist of poor quality players were playing out of position to fill gaps. Look at the CBs for e.g. Casemiro is playing at CB, and he's being exposed if Ambrabat has a poor game. THINK. FOR F**KS SAKE.

The guy had the worst ManUTD season in history of course he's getting the sack lol. Injuries? Madrid had more substantial injuries and still played well, just like 10 other PL teams this season who have had a similar amount. The dude got rid of great players and signed random Dutch players for an arm and a leg to do nothing. Not to mention his ego was Mourinho level when he has achieved nothing ever. Embarrassing.

[@philiq18]

Are you that daft? You can't compare Madrid's squad to United's. Madrid is stacked and has always been a strong club. EtH inherited a subpar squad and you get to season two and he loses all his center halves to injuries. City and Arsenal also stacked -- even with injuries they practically have another Starting XI on the bench. EtH had to play 3rd and 4th choice players with youngsters from the Academy.

[@NaserHekmat]

Laporta gave Xavi the chance to return because he was a legend otherwise any other coach would’ve been let go. But Xavi mistake was he crossed red line. In Barca you don’t raise your hand high before fight and as a legend he should have known better.

[@keithbrown4300]

Stevie's analysis of ten Hag was spot on. He did not do his job of fixing the onfield problems game after game and that was his main job. All clubs have injuries but you have to figure out who to slot in and your best combinations.

[@nobody_in_particular754]

Yeah right. Try managing a team with a revolving door of injuries, with your first, second, third, nd fourth choice CBs all out for weeks on end. All the while having a board making decisions behind your back in an effort to undermine you. You, along with Stevie have no idea what you're on about. You all get on social media and whine and cry about how the manager treats your favorite player when you couldn't even manage a group of two year olds

[@phillydirector]

Should have sacked him after Crystal Palace.

[@themystery8432]

yeah very late decision

[@barbariansoviet]

The same crystal palace that bear Liverpool at Anfield

[@sivasegarannadarajan4428]

Let's be honest, Ten Hag failed to implement a consistent style of play and often relied on players individual performance to gain wins. This season, he overplayed Garnacho and Mainoo, whilst wasting nearly 140 million pounds on Anthony and Mount who are below average most of the time. And, the worst is he claimed this season is actually a better progress than last season.

[@CleanClaspCollector]

Has to go. Nobody believes in him anymore. Just not a good fit. Bad signings, no clear strategy other than signing all his former players. Give ANYBODY reading this £400 million to buy players for and most would come up with better players than he did. That’s on him. But, the players are the worst of all. Besides Bruno and 2-3 others, the rest are a bunch of babies with no backbone but we can’t sell 25 players. It’ll take years to rival the new Big Three in City, Arsenal and Liverpool. I would be surprised if United win the EPL in the next 10 years. We are closer to 10th place than 1st on the current trajectory.

"We don't sack managers at Manchester United"

[@mmsmith1525]

ETH is the worst manager I've ever seen in my lifetime. His level of delusion is at the top of the scale. I think he has serious mental health issues when I listen to him, especially during his post-match press conferences. I'm so happy he'll get sacked, and I hope he'll take his whiner captain and his don't care pal Rashford with him. Many more should go, but ETH and those two should go before anyone else.

[@NubisKubis-gc9if]

No, the delusion one here is you. Do you really think if ETH leaves, Rashford and the other toxic players are going to leave too? No, they will stay and throw the new manager under the bus again. That's the common theme since Mourinho's era. With another manager get sack, the players know they have the power over the manager. Also, if United sign McKenna, United is most definitely going to fail if these players stay. Why? Go back to 2021 and read the tweets about him. There are many players who don't like him and think that his training is like a PE teacher. Fans like you who don't see the bigger picture is the reason why United is bad for the past decade because you are easily swayed by the players.
