FIFA has just announced VERY SAD NEWS for the Officials and Referees of the match between Manchester United vs Burnley and this have cost them thier Job
Erik ten Hag has requested that Manchester United supporters have patience after their expression of disapproval, shown via booing, during the 1-1 draw against Burnley at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag’s substitution of Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Hojlund with Scott McTominay and Amad during the second half, when the game was still tied, was received with a strong display of disagreement from the Old Trafford crowd. The decision to substitute Hojlund during matches against Brighton and Manchester City earlier in the season was also greeted with disapproving jeers.
Antony’s goal, scored 11 minutes before the end of the match, first seemed like it would save Manchester United from embarrassment. However, a mistake by Andre Onana resulted in a late penalty, which was well converted by Zeki Amdouni. The home crowd expressed their dissatisfaction by booing at the final whistle.
Ten Hag justified his decision to make two substitutions and said that he wanted to shield the young players in his team from the accumulated exhaustion. Additionally, he requested patience while he constructs his roster at United.
“While they may be supporters, my first responsibility is to oversee the squad and prioritize winning games. I must assess the requirements of each game and determine the need for fresh players who possess both technical skills and creativity to maintain ball possession,” said Ten Hag.
“The midfield was characterized by a game of great intensity, with many changes in momentum. Rasmus and Kobbie, who are both young players, experienced considerable weariness. Therefore, it was the appropriate option to substitute them.” There is an advantage to having Scott join the team since he brings energy and agility. This is particularly useful when the game is in an open position, as Scott excels in such scenarios and can effectively execute offensive moves from that position.
“We will be playing three games [this week].” Given that Burnley had a break from playing, it is quite reasonable to substitute players who are relatively inexperienced and in their first year of competing in the Premier League during a very heated match. Rasmus Hojlund had a greater number of injuries during this season, while Kobbie suffered from two severe injuries. Consequently, I am determined to prevent any more injuries and take measures to safeguard them.
“I comprehend why spectators want to see the abilities shown by these individuals, since they provide valuable contributions to the squad.” I comprehend the situation, nevertheless, I am obligated to fulfill my professional duties and that choice aligns with what is correct.
Ten Hag highlighted the team’s lack of maturity and experience, namely in Hojlund, Mainoo, and Alejandro Garnacho. He emphasized the need of patience from both the owners and fans in order to successfully reconstruct the squad.
“The reason we established this club is because we have a group of really young players.” “That requires a significant amount of time,” he said. “We have recruited young players such as Garnacho, Hojlund, and Mainoo, who are all experiencing their first season in the Premier League. The level of competition in the league is progressively becoming more severe with each passing year.” The current season is more heightened in intensity compared to the previous one.
“The players need to adapt, and this process requires a certain amount of time.” I own a strong inclination towards impatience, but, it is imperative that we exercise patience. Both the fans and ourselves need patience since we are in the process of constructing a club, and this endeavor necessitates the acquisition of valuable expertise.
“When experiencing exhaustion, it is important to maintain concentration until the conclusion.” This season, we included an additional measure to enhance the game’s speed by extending the duration of each match by seven, eight, nine, or ten minutes. That is a boundary they must surpass, and they can only achieve it via firsthand experiences.
Ten Hag also responded to critics who draw comparisons between his United club and the formidable teams of past periods. He specifically referred to the teams in the early to mid-2000s, who were undergoing a process of reconstruction under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson.
“It is very inaccurate.” “The Manchester United sides of 2004 and 2005 were not known for playing exceptional football. They were in the process of constructing the squad, which requires time,” he said.
“It is often overlooked, even by the players themselves, that the squad was facing difficulties and need a significant amount of time to improve.”
