UTTER NONSENSE! 🗣️ Craig Burley sounds off on Erik ten Hag after Man United's loss to Brighton

The ESPN FC panel reacts to Brighton's 3-1 win over Manchester United and Craig Burley sounds off on United's manager Erik ten Hag.

When Ten Hag came the same English media, pundits, commentators, etc. pitched him against Ronaldo.

So a player who had scored about 30 goals the previous season suddenly became redundant. And was so disrespected that he was asked to go to play 6 minutes to time when Man U was trailing. Now Mr. TH, prepare for what is coming; for these people, some of whom never played elite football under elite coaches like Sir Alex, Mourinho, Zidane, etc, are now begining to realise that coaching Ajax to glory in the Eredevisie is not the same as coaching in the EPL.

But when it comes to his favorites, he overlooks their shortcomings. I can vaguely fathom the reasons behind Sancho rebel actions. Once fans were bashing a certain 37 year old Portuguese for not doing enough defensive work. They were calling him selfish. Then what about Rashford? It's been years. He still playing selfish, ball watching, not tracking back, refusing to pass ball to his team mates inside the box. The elite presser/hardworking forward Wout Weghorst long gone. Onana nowadays forgetting goal keeping is his primary job, rest of all bonuses.

[@jamesza_gabe5063]

Ive been a Man Utd fan since '86 and I am tired of blaming the ownership of this club because we have created our own demise over the past 15 years. We created a club that became a cash cow, that lacked the right leadership, that bought and sold players well outside of what other great clubs would have done during the same time. We have spent as much on players as Man City, and yet we arent even in the same half of the table as them. What I am starting to see from EtH is a lack of composure (failing to see errors and/or ignoring them entirely), failed tactics with the squad he has, and yes it may not be our starting 11, but even our starting team would have been schooled by Brighton. Honestly, its time to look at everything and scrutinize it like a pundit would. Our club has, over the past few years, employed the wrong people in positions in the club that do not and cannot understand football and its dynamics. Poor decision making, lack of intent in development, failed transfers (in and out), excessive fees for players that clearly shouldnt even be in our reserve squads, dressing room squabbles, player off-field issues, injuries, and management that have lacked support in all these areas due to poor ownership that has been a huge factor in how and where we are right now in the EPL. How the heck can we still be sitting with Maguire and Martial? How can Sancho be making statements that have been made? How wrong was Ronaldo really about EtH? (The latter makes me realise more and more that perhaps Ronaldo was right after all). There is no quick fix. I think the Glazers selling the club, revamping our facilities, employing proper football skilled members into the club to manage, buy and sell, and overall focus on rebuilding this club from internal first. Whats happening on the pitch is a culmination off 20 years of poor activities on and off the field. It wont change until the ownership does. Its why the fans are up in arms, because its not that we are just losing, its how we lose, and what keeps going on in and out of this club. While I will never stop loving and supporting Manchester United, seeing it as it is now is disheartening, and as a fan, that went through a period where we were not as formidable as the Liverpool of the '80s, for me its the heart and soul of United that is missing. The love and passion to play for the badge at Old Trafford. The desire to play at home with 70k+ fans chanting and singing for the players. Its the togetherness of our squad every time they stepped onto the pitch. I dont mind if we dont win the title in the next few years, but if we cant even compete for it, and right now I would be delusional if I thought otherwise, then we have no hope of things changing and we will continue to be a football meme. EtH has made some poor choices on his signings. I am not convinced by Onana (I havent even see him play the way he was supposed to play that will define a new era for us), Martinez is okay but lacks a regular CB partner and still, he allows too many gaps. Mount had a torrid time last season, and hasnt done well in the games he has played. He has been in the EPL for a while so he shouldnt need time to settle like a foreign player new to the league should require. Antony who is barely able to play on his right foot (I would play Rashford right and Garnacho left). Hojlund, an inexperienced striker who actually needs a proper (and skilled) No.9 up front with him instead of being a stand alone. Malachia who is also worse than any other defender we have (Dalot plays left back better). So far, I have not seen a signing of EtH that has been impactful and the group of them together have done little to nothing to bring up our standards. This, is on EtH now. Stop hiding behind refs, VAR, "bad calls". We should have lost the Wolves game. We deserved the Spurs loss, and Arsenal showed us what a well run team can and will do to us every time we step out onto the park. We are not even in the same realm of abilities as Brighton, a team that has sold nearly all their "top" talent because it is run far better than us. I love this club, but my gosh, right now - I am angry.
