“STOP THE BLAME, AM NOT THE PROBLEM AT MANCHESTER UNITED”, “I coach the play what the like-ERIG TEN HAG Has issued warning to Manchester United fans after chants that he should be sacked
Erik ten Hag told the Manchester United fans to be patient after they started booing after the 1-1 draw with Burnley at Old Trafford.
When Ten Hag chose to switch out Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Hojlund for Scott McTominay and Amad in the middle of the second half, with the score still tied, it was a clear sign of resistance from Old Trafford. Boos was also happy with the choices made earlier in the season to take Hojlund off against Manchester City and Brighton.
Antony’s goal 11 minutes from the end looked like it would save United’s face, but Andre Onana made a mistake that led to a late penalty, which Zeki Amdouni scored. The home crowd booed as the game ended.
In defense of his double move, Ten Hag said that he needs to be patient as he puts together his United team so that he doesn’t make his young players tired, which is already starting to happen.
“I have to lead the team and win games first,” Ten Hag said, even though they were fans. At that point, we need a new player with athletic skills who can keep the ball and come up with new ideas.
The call was right because the game in the middle of the field was intense and going up and down. Rasmus and Kobbie, two very young players, looked like they were tired. Since Scott is so good in open areas and can make some penetrations from there, you might get something out of it by bringing in new legs.
“We have three games this week.” Burnley had a few days off, so it makes sense to pull out young players in their first season in the Premier League for such a crucial game. This season, Rasmus Hojlund has hurt himself more, while Kobbie has had two major injuries. Because of this, I take steps to protect them from harm.
“I understand that fans want to see these guys perform because they are important to the team.” Oh, I see. But I had to get my work done, and that was the right thing to do.
Ten Hag used Hojlund, Mainoo, and Alejandro Garnacho as examples of how young and inexperienced his team was. He asked the team’s owners and supporters to be patient while he continued to put together the squad.
We are rebuilding this team with the help of our young players. He said, “It needs time.” “We get new players like Hojlund, Mainoo, and Garnacho. This is their first season in the Premier League, and it gets tougher every year.” Compared to last season, it’s intense.
“Those players need time to get used to it. For as anxious as I am, I think we all need to be patient because we’re building a team and need the experience.
“When you start to feel tired, you have to keep your focus the whole time.” With seven, eight, nine, or ten more minutes in a game this season, we had more time to keep playing hard. They need to get past that obstacle, which they can only learn by doing.
Ten Hag also answered critics who say his United team is like some of the best teams from the past by comparing it to teams that were rebuilt under Sir Alex Ferguson in the early to mid-2000s.
It’s completely wrong. He also said that the famous Manchester United teams of 2004 and 2005 were still growing. They didn’t play very well, but it takes time.
“People forget that even the players on that team were having trouble and needed time to get better.”
