“I don’t like his pattern of play left for me i will like him to be sacked” – Manchester united star reveals why he will not publicly back Erik ten Hag after Manchester United 2:2 draw again Bournemouth today
Manchester United’s goalkeeper, Andre Onana, recently shared insights into his views on manager Erik ten Hag, explaining why he refrains from openly endorsing the Dutchman despite acknowledging his coaching prowess.
Having joined United from Inter Milan last summer, Onana initially struggled to establish himself as the club’s primary goalkeeper, facing setbacks during the Champions League group stage. However, he has since demonstrated consistency, earning acclaim for his distribution and shot-stopping abilities.
Although Onana praised Ten Hag’s managerial skills in a pre-match interview with Sky Sports, he opts not to publicly support him.
He attributes this decision to the unpredictable nature of football, where past performances often overshadow present achievements. While acknowledging Ten Hag’s proficiency, Onana believes the manager’s reputation speaks for itself, requiring no further validation.
United’s season has been marked by inconsistency, with promising victories followed by disappointing results. This trend was evident in their match against Bournemouth, where they suffered a 3-0 defeat at home shortly after defeating Chelsea.
Their rollercoaster continued with a 2-2 draw against Liverpool, which Onana and his teammates view as two valuable points dropped, hampering their Champions League qualification hopes.
Recent matches have exposed defensive vulnerabilities within Ten Hag’s squad, evident in the high number of shots conceded.
Such defensive lapses highlight the challenges facing Ten Hag as he seeks to maintain consistency and achieve favorable results for United.
Onana’s cautious approach to endorsing Ten Hag mirrors the pragmatic mindset prevalent in elite football circles. While acknowledging the manager’s capabilities, he remains mindful of the transient nature of success and the scrutiny it entails.
As United progresses through the season, Onana’s consistent performances will play a pivotal role in shaping perceptions of Ten Hag’s tenure at Old Trafford.
