Erik ten Hag says Manchester United is on the way up, but the Premier League table tells a different story.
It must be tough for the United manager to come up with fresh explanations for his team’s ever-worsening form. But after Sunday’s"It hurts a lot," he said."Now you have to deal with it. Accept it, how it is, and, in 24 hours, you have to get up and go for the next game.". It is a repeat of last season’s final, which United won as ten Hag ended the club’s six-year wait for a trophy and delivered silverware in his first year in charge.
He says he understands their frustration and there is still the sense that he has their backing. But he is the latest manager to struggle under the weight of expectation at a club that has been in decline since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. There has been no suggestion that ten Hag’s position is under threat and reports even claim prospective investor Jim Ratcliffe sees him as a key figure going forward.
That plan is being tested as results on the field continue to go in the wrong direction, despite hundreds of millions more being spent. And with Ratcliffe wanting to take charge of soccer operations if his bid for a minority stake in the club is successful, it is not known what route he will want to take or how that could impact ten Hag and Murtough.
